Karen Andrews, LPC

Karen Andrews is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Connecticut with 14 years of experience. She creates a welcoming space where people can talk about hard feelings and begin to make changes. Her work pays attention to practical skills as well as personal meaning.

She helps people manage stress and anxiety and addresses mood challenges such as bipolar disorder. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, anger, and ADHD. Jealousy and body image issues are among the topics she often sees.

Karen pays close attention to attachment and communication patterns. Sessions focus on understanding how past relationships shape current reactions and on building clearer ways to connect. Conversations often include concrete communication tools and steps to shift repetitive patterns.

Her style blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. She also draws on existential questions about purpose and meaning when that fits a person's concerns. The aim is practical progress plus deeper self-understanding.

Clients move at their own pace and set the goals for therapy. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on therapist availability. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people relate now. It helps when patterns from the past make current connections feel unsafe or confusing. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on respectful, nonjudgmental listening. It gives people space to be heard while they find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into steps you can change. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and mood symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most useful. Goals, life demands, and personal preferences guide that choice so the plan fits real life.

Check the session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people choose sessions that match their energy level, such as staying off camera or having a brief phone check-in when that suits them. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and pacing during the initial scheduling step so sessions fit into everyday routines.
