About Karen

Karen Sollberger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana. She brings nine years of experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and the strain of life changes.

She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions emphasize practical steps and clear goals. Karen encourages small, steady changes that build confidence over time.

Her work often centers on everyday struggles like motivation, coping after loss, relationship stress, and career concerns. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, addictions, ADHD, and grief. Her listed areas include trauma and abuse, anger, bipolar-related concerns, and issues tied to identity such as LGBT matters.

Karen uses a mix of approaches to fit each person. She draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the client. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors.

People can expect a collaborative style in sessions. Karen listens first, then helps build realistic plans. The goal is to leave each meeting with one or two concrete actions to try before the next session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to clarify priorities and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors, and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It works well for stress, low mood, and managing unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will check in about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they will try methods that feel manageable and adjust the plan over time based on results.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or phone-only conversations when video is not ideal. Licensed professionals can use these options to help clients practice skills between meetings and stay consistent with care.
