About Karen

Karen Hubbard is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with nine years of clinical experience who focuses on practical, collaborative care. She blends active listening and empathy with behavioral interventions to help people identify unhelpful thinking and repetitive patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Background and approach

Karen emphasizes an engaged, interactive relationship where clients explore choices and develop clearer ways of relating to themselves and others. Her style balances short-term, recovery-oriented steps that create momentum with longer-term strategies to address deeper issues.

She aims to reduce distress and improve mood and functioning by building on individual strengths, teaching healthy coping skills, and shifting negative thinking. Areas she addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, intimacy and anger issues, and mood disorders among others.

Clients can expect a tailored plan that respects each person’s needs while encouraging growth and resilience. Karen’s approach centers on the belief that people have the capacity for change, healing, and a more fulfilling life, and she supports that journey through practical tools and collaborative work.

CBT, Client-Centered Care, and DBT-Informed Support Online



Karen frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, emphasizing empathic listening and collaboration to help people explore values, strengths, and personal goals. When appropriate, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills for managing strong feelings and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together; Karen collaborates with each person to select strategies that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She blends short-term, recovery-oriented steps with longer-term planning so clients gain immediate tools while addressing deeper concerns over time.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and access regardless of schedule or location within New York. These options allow clients to receive consistent care, fit therapy into busy lives, and maintain momentum between sessions through different communication formats.
