About Karen
Karen House is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on practical problem-solving. She uses clear, down-to-earth language and aims to leave people with useful tools after the first session. Karen has 25 years of experience and is based in Colorado as an LPC and LPCC.
She favors short-term strategies that can be practiced between meetings. Sessions often include simple exercises and homework so progress can continue outside the appointment. Karen listens closely and helps people notice patterns that keep problems stuck.
Background and approach
Her work covers stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and low self-esteem. Anger is one of the areas she addresses along with depression and bipolar concerns. She also helps people dealing with sleeping problems, parenting strain, and identity issues related to LGBT concerns.
Karen pays attention to how relationships and attachment affect emotional life. She supports people facing communication problems, control issues, codependency, and family conflict. She has experience with first responder-related stress and with the special pressures that follow disasters.
Therapeutic methods she uses include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. She adapts these approaches to each person’s situation and preferences. Sessions are offered in English and Karen accepts international clients.
She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, with scheduling through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting, nonjudgmental space. Online sessions let the therapist follow your lead and reflect what matters most to you, which helps with stress, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. In an online session this becomes concrete homework and short exercises you can do between appointments to reduce anxiety, anger, or depressive patterns.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to help people process traumatic memories. Remotely, it can involve guided bilateral stimulation and structured processing while the therapist coaches you through each step.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Karen will talk with you about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to choose methods that fit your needs and preferences.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and worksheets during the session. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or continuing homework between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, or travel.
