About Karen

Karen Peck is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 18 years of clinical experience based in Oklahoma.

Background and approach

She has spent nearly two decades working with people struggling with substance use, trauma and abuse, grief, PTSD, and major life transitions, drawing on a mix of evidence-informed methods to guide change and healing. Karen frames clients as the experts of their own stories and works to amplify individual strengths while addressing the barriers that interfere with wellbeing.

Her practice emphasizes collaboration and empowerment; she supports people through difficult decisions and emotional shifts with practical strategies and compassionate guidance. Clients can expect a therapist who values courage and persistence and who focuses on realistic, skills-based tools to manage addiction, trauma responses, anger, self-esteem challenges, career concerns, and parenting stress.

Karen integrates cognitive behavioral techniques alongside trauma-focused and mindfulness-informed work to help people build sustainable coping skills and move toward more fulfilling lives.

Practical approaches for online healing and growth

Karen commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to guide online work. CBT centers on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning, making it useful for struggles like anxiety, low self-esteem, and addictive behaviors. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing traumatic memories and developing safety and coping skills to lessen trauma-related symptoms and support recovery.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Karen partners with each client to explore which methods fit their goals and preferences, adapting tools and pacing based on what feels most helpful for the individual’s needs and circumstances.

Online therapy can make consistent care more accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow clients to engage from different settings and schedules while working with a licensed professional to practice skills, process difficult experiences, and track progress over time.
