Karen Vigeland, LCSW

Karen Vigeland is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who offers individual counseling to adults across a range of life stages. She has nine years of clinical experience working with diverse populations in a variety of settings, helping people navigate concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, substance use, relationship and family problems, grief, career transitions, and challenges related to identity and intimacy.

Her approach is rooted in a client-centered, insight-oriented, and strengths-based perspective. She helps clients identify underlying patterns, build on personal strengths, and make practical changes in thoughts and behaviors to support healthier functioning and a more balanced mindset. Karen also draws from evidence-informed methods when appropriate, tailoring interventions to the needs and goals of each person she works with.

She aims to create a nonjudgmental, accepting counseling relationship where adults can explore concerns, process difficult experiences, and develop skills for coping and growth. Prospective clients are invited to reach out to begin the therapeutic process when they are ready to pursue positive change.

Karen practices in Florida as an LCSW, which indicates her professional qualification to provide clinical social work and therapeutic services.

Approach-Focused Care Delivered Online

Karen uses client-centered therapy to place the individual's experience at the center of the work - this approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so people feel heard while exploring their goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems by teaching practical skills and coping strategies. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines acceptance and change strategies and is especially useful for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and building distress tolerance.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Karen works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, access care from different locations within the therapist's practice area, and maintain continuity of support while working toward personal goals with licensed professionals and therapists.
