Karen House , LPC, LPCC

Karen House is a licensed professional counselor with 25 years of experience. She offers a calm, problem-solving approach and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Karen aims for sessions that leave people with at least one tool to try between meetings.

She uses client-centered work to listen and follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps her break problems into manageable parts and change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is part of how she addresses relationship and attachment concerns when those come up.

Karen has spent decades helping people handle stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and grief. She also supports people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, and sleeping or eating-related issues. Her practice includes work with LGBT concerns and family problems, and she often addresses codependency, communication problems, and control issues.

Sessions typically build on progress from week to week. Clients can expect listening, clear explanations, and practical homework to try between sessions. Karen describes the work as collaborative - she helps people find and practice tools that suit their goals.

She is licensed in Colorado as an LPC and in New Mexico as an LPCC. Sessions are offered in English and Karen accepts international clients. The emphasis is on steady, usable change rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. The therapist creates space to hear concerns and then works with the person to set clear goals and steps to get there. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Karen will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together they will try methods that fit those needs. She adapts tools as progress unfolds so sessions reflect what helps most in real life.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls let people talk face to face, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging allow for shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between meetings. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels, while keeping the therapeutic focus on practical skills and steady progress.
