About Karen

Karen House is a licensed counselor who uses an approachable, problem-solving style. She combines direct listening with practical tools so people leave sessions with something to try. Karen aims to help clients build skills over time and to tackle the issues that are getting in the way of daily life.

With 25 years of experience, she draws on Existential Therapy and Client-Centered approaches to focus on meaning, values, and the person's own goals.

Background and approach

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress. Sessions are collaborative and grounded in simple steps clients can use between meetings. People come to Karen for a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, bipolar issues, and sleep problems.

She also works on relationship and family-related struggles such as communication problems, codependency, commitment issues, and divorce and separation. Additional focus areas include attachment issues, coping after disasters, first responder stress, and forgiveness work. Karen asks clients to take an active role in therapy.

Homework and real-world activities are part of the plan so progress continues outside sessions. She listens for patterns and then offers clear, practical strategies to change them. Sessions are offered in English and Karen sees clients in Colorado as well as international clients through online formats.

Her credentials include Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC).

Online support

How therapeutic approaches work online

Existential Therapy helps people look at meaning, choice, and what matters most in life. It can be useful when someone feels empty, stuck, or unsure about direction. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on hearing the person's experience and offering acceptance so the client can find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Decisions about which methods to use are collaborative and can shift as needs change over time.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to stay connected. Video calls make it possible to have face-to-face conversations across distances. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between appointments or use shorter, focused exchanges when that suits their schedule.
