Karen Sollberger, LPC

Karen Sollberger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with nine years of experience. She focuses on practical ways to ease stress, manage anxiety, and rebuild confidence. Karen offers straightforward support for people facing depression, major life changes, and compassion fatigue.

She creates a calm, open space where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings without judgment. Conversations are direct and centered on the client’s immediate needs. Karen emphasizes small, manageable steps that build momentum toward clearer goals.

Her work often uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. She also draws on client-centered listening so people feel heard and understood. Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies are used when clients want concrete tools for coping and short-term problem solving.

Clients seeking help with grief, addiction, parenting concerns, or identity-related stress will find practical strategies and emotional support. Karen also addresses complex patterns such as attachment issues, codependency, dissociation, and disruptive mood symptoms by breaking problems into workable parts.

Sessions aim to combine honest conversation with doable homework and skill practice. Progress is tracked in simple terms so clients can see change over weeks and months. Those starting therapy can expect clear steps and collaborative planning from the first meeting.

How Karen’s approaches translate to online work

Karen often uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is practical and useful for anxiety, depression, and anger by focusing on patterns that maintain problems. She also uses client-centered listening that prioritizes the person’s experience and encourages open conversation to build trust and clarity.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan if something isn’t working. This collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize cognitive tools, mindfulness practices, or solution-focused steps over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messages are useful for brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or when someone needs flexibility during a busy day. These options aim to make therapy easier to fit into real life while keeping the work client-focused and goal driven.
