About Karen
Karen Andrews is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Connecticut with 14 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and family strain, self-esteem issues, bipolar disorder, grief, eating concerns, anger, and ADHD. She also lists attachment, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, and related areas as additional focuses.
Karen uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each person. Sessions are practical and goal-focused. She helps people notice patterns in thinking and behavior and then try new responses. Many clients look to her for help with work stress, relationship shifts, or feeling lost after school.
Her style draws on client-centered techniques that follow the person’s pace. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thoughts and test different actions. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationships influence current reactions and connection patterns.
Karen supports people who want clearer communication skills and better emotional regulation. She will work with clients to create small, doable changes rather than large, abstract promises. If someone is juggling school, a first job, or new independence, she addresses those real-life pressures directly.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Karen often uses client-centered therapy to prioritize the person’s concerns and pace. That approach means the therapist listens and reflects so clients can clarify their own goals and solutions. It suits people who need a steady, conversational place to organize thoughts and feelings.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. CBT offers clear tools for anxiety, mood swings, and stress that can be practiced between sessions. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at patterns in close relationships and how they affect current reactions and trust.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Karen will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt techniques over time. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are expected as needs change.
