About Karen

Karen Sollberger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with nine years of experience. She focuses on common life pressures such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with change. Karen also works with concerns like anger, grief, addiction, parenting stress, and career strain.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She listens first, then helps people name what feels off and try small changes that make day-to-day life easier. Sessions often include tracking how thoughts and actions interact, and practicing simple skills to reduce reactivity and improve communication.

Karen uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Mindfulness and Solution-Focused techniques are used when learning immediate coping tools and setting short-term goals.

People come to her for a mix of issues: chronic worry, anger that shows up at home or work, identity and LGBT concerns, grief, and stress from caregiving or burnout. She also supports people dealing with attachment problems, codependency, and dissociation when these issues affect daily life.

Her sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Clients can expect clear steps and homework that relate to real situations. The aim is not to promise quick fixes but to build skills that reduce reactivity and improve decision making over time.

How sessions work

Online approaches and how they help

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's point of view. It helps people talk through what triggers anger and decide what matters most to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it teaches practical exercises to reduce reactivity and test new responses in real situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Karen will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together rather than sticking to a single method.

The practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping appointments that might otherwise be missed. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to keep momentum with short check-ins, use guided exercises during a break at work, or practice new communication skills in day-to-day situations without needing extra travel time.
