About Karen

Karen Perry is an LMFT with 17 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are stressed, anxious, depressed, or struggling with self esteem. She also supports those facing relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, addiction, trauma and abuse, anger, and compassion fatigue. She is comfortable working with people in LGBT and polyamorous or non-monogamous relationships.

Karen’s manner is warm and interactive. She listens first and shapes conversations around what matters to each person. Sessions are collaborative and practical, with straightforward goals and steps people can try between meetings.

Her work draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, emotionally-focused ideas, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. She mixes these approaches to match a person’s needs and preferences rather than following a single script.

Clients can expect clear, respectful feedback and an emphasis on small, doable changes. Karen frames her role as supporting and empowering people as they make decisions and try new behaviors. She encourages curiosity about emotions and patterns rather than self-judgment.

She practices in Oklahoma and holds licensure as an LMFT in Arizona and Oklahoma. Karen welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and will collaborate on a plan that fits each person’s life and goals.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s perspective and priorities. The therapist listens carefully and follows the client’s lead to build understanding and goals that matter to them. This approach is helpful for self esteem, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It uses simple experiments and practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress management.

Emotionally-focused ideas help people notice and name feelings and strengthen important bonds in relationships. This can be useful for intimacy issues and relationship conflict where understanding emotions helps move conversations forward.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what actually helps a person make small, meaningful changes.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking so you know how meetings will happen. Many people find online work easier to fit into a busy day and useful for keeping momentum between sessions. It can allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to schedule around work or family commitments.
