About Karen
Karen Vigeland is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with nine years of experience. She offers individual counseling for adults across a range of life stages. Her work focuses on common concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, and coping with major life changes.
Karen uses a client-centered and strength-based outlook. She helps people name the problems that come up, notice patterns in thoughts and behavior, and try practical changes that fit daily life. Sessions are conversational and aim to be straightforward and practical.
Her approach draws on several clinical methods, including cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, emotionally-focused work, and existential ideas. That mix supports both short-term coping skills and deeper reflection about values, meaning, and connections with others.
People who come for help can expect a focus on what they already do well and where small shifts might reduce stress or improve mood. She also addresses issues like grief, caregiver strain, ADHD-related concerns, and aging or geriatric topics when relevant.
Karen has worked in different settings with diverse populations. She emphasizes clear goals and tangible steps so that therapy fits into busy lives. Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Florida as an LCSW licensed in that state.
BHow sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can clarify goals and values; it helps when someone needs a calm, consistent space to talk through life stressors. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) uses practical exercises to spot and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which works well for anxiety, depression, and managing mood. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that are useful when emotions feel overwhelming.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and everyday routines. That decision can change over time as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Many people choose online sessions because they make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full in-person visit is hard to fit into a workday. Online work can also make it simpler to practice skills between meetings and to bring real-life examples into conversation.
