About Karen

Karen Sollberger is an LPC practicing in Louisiana who brings nine years of professional experience to her therapeutic work. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, motivation challenges, and transitions that come with life changes.

Background and approach

Her background also includes work with grief, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, addictions, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and issues related to identity such as LGBT matters. Additional areas of attention include attachment and personality-related concerns, caregiver stress, communication and control issues, and co-occurring conditions.

Her approach emphasizes openness and collaboration, inviting clients to explore thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. Karen draws on evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered, existential, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies to tailor work to each person’s needs.

She frames therapy as a partnership that supports practical coping, clearer perspective, and movement toward personally meaningful goals. Prospective clients in Louisiana who are ready to begin can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental setting aimed at empowerment and gradual change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Karen integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to provide focused yet empathetic care. CBT helps identify and adjust unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Client-centered work emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental alliance where the client’s perspective guides exploration and personal meaning.

She also uses elements of existential and mindfulness approaches when helpful, inviting clients to explore values, purpose, and present-moment awareness as part of broader work. Choosing the right approach is collaborative: the therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques and adjust the plan together as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These formats make it possible to access licensed professional care from different locations within Louisiana and accommodate varied routines, helping clients maintain continuity of support while balancing other commitments.
