About Karen

Karen Andrews is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Connecticut with 14 years of clinical experience. She offers a compassionate, affirming approach that helps people navigate complex emotional challenges and build practical skills for daily life. Karen works with a wide range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and family dynamics, self-esteem struggles, mood disorders, grief, eating and impulse-related issues, and ADHD, tailoring care to each person’s needs.

Her practice emphasizes understanding each client’s unique history and strengths. Karen supports clients in developing clearer communication, managing social anxiety, and strengthening connections with others. She combines validation and practical strategies to help clients move through crises, cope with life transitions, and address identity or relationship questions.

Karen is particularly committed to supporting young adults, LGBTQ+ individuals, and people experiencing mood disorders or major life changes. Collaboratively, she helps clients identify strengths, process difficult experiences, and cultivate greater self-compassion and resilience. Her goal is to empower people to overcome barriers and create more satisfying, purposeful lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Karen Andrews draws from several well-established approaches to support clients in an online setting. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and helps people address attachment issues, family difficulties, and relationship anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic stance - the therapist follows the client’s pace and priorities to foster self-discovery, improve self-esteem, and support identity exploration. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, manage mood, and improve day-to-day functioning.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the collaborative work between therapist and client. Karen will listen to a client’s goals, preferences, and life context and help identify which methods or combination of methods are likely to be most useful. This process is flexible and adjusts as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical advantages for many people. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to access licensed professionals from different locations, fit sessions into busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care during transitions. These options make it easier to find a rhythm of support that fits each person’s life and needs.
