About Karen
Karen Walker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Montana with 10 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, depression, and coping with life changes. She also works on issues tied to adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric matters, blended family concerns, and caregiver stress.
She uses straightforward conversations to help people sort out what matters most to them. Sessions often involve looking at thoughts and behaviors, practicing mindfulness skills, and clarifying values to guide next steps. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when people need help finding reasons to change or keeping momentum.
Her approach is client-centered, which means she listens first and follows each person’s pace. She offers practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thinking and to build coping skills. Narrative work can help people reframe difficult stories about themselves and their relationships.
Karen draws on experience supporting people through loss, health changes like cancer, and family transitions such as divorce or blending households. She also addresses concerns around body image, guilt, shame, and communication problems that strain day-to-day life.

BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without getting swept away by them and focuses on choosing actions that match personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change patterns that worsen stress or depression. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's lead so conversations stay focused on what matters most to the person.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about goals, try methods that fit the client's preferences, and adjust over time based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to prioritize and how to pace work between sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue work across life changes, with scheduling that can match work, caregiving, and health appointments.
