About Karen
Karen Sollberger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Karen aims to create a calm space where people can speak honestly and feel heard.
Her style is straightforward and supportive. She encourages small, realistic steps that build confidence over time. Sessions emphasize clear goals and hands-on tools rather than long lectures or vague theory.
Background and approach
Karen draws on several proven approaches to tailor work to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change behavior. Client-centered work prioritizes each person’s perspective and pace.
Mindfulness techniques teach simple ways to stay present during stress. She also uses solution-focused strategies to set achievable short-term goals. This can be useful for parents trying to manage daily routines or any adult balancing work and caregiving demands.
Existential ideas are woven in when clients are weighing values, meaning, or big life decisions. Karen has supported people facing grief, trauma, compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and identity questions including LGBT topics. She responds to each situation with practical planning, reflective listening, and steady encouragement.
Her approach is collaborative: she works with people to decide what helps most. People who prefer clear steps, gentle accountability, and conversational sessions may find her approach helpful. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to fit different needs and schedules.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following each person's lead. It helps people feel understood and often brings clarity about priorities and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions link to mood and behavior. It offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. Decisions are collaborative and can shift as needs change during treatment.
Online delivery offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation while fitting sessions into busy days. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts in writing, use brief check-ins between sessions, and fit support into breaks or tight schedules. These options make it easier to keep continuity and practice new skills in everyday life.
