Karie Leduc, LICSW

Karie Leduc is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Rhode Island who brings 19 years of clinical experience to her psychotherapy practice. She works from a collaborative, nonjudgmental stance, guiding people through moments of overwhelm, difficult life transitions, and persistent patterns of thinking or feeling that interfere with decision making and well-being.

Her approach centers on emotional awareness and thoughtful exploration of how past experiences shape present reactions. Karie helps people identify strengths and resources while also recognizing areas that may benefit from change, creating a balanced path toward growth. She attends closely to both verbal and nonverbal communication and engages actively in sessions to set clear therapeutic goals and track progress toward them.

Karie addresses a broad range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, mood and personality disorders, and major life changes such as education, employment shifts, marriage, divorce, loss, and grief. She also supports work on stress, parenting, intimacy, ADHD, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, self-esteem, career issues, and compassion fatigue.

She offers flexible scheduling and responds to messages several times a day, seven days a week. Therapy is available by live chat, phone, or video and can be arranged to fit each person’s needs and timetable. Karie provides services in English and accepts international clients.

Emotion-Focused and Practical Approaches for Online Therapy

Karie draws on emotion-focused work that helps people attend to and name feelings, uncovering how emotions influence choices and relationships. This kind of attention to affect can be especially helpful for those navigating grief, trauma, relationship struggles, or mood difficulties.

She also uses collaborative, goal-oriented methods that combine active therapist participation with practical skill-building. These techniques teach strategies for coping with stress, managing anxiety, improving sleep and eating patterns, and addressing attention or behavioral challenges in daily life.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Karie partners with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the work as progress unfolds so therapy remains responsive and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and differing comfort levels with technology. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care, access support from home or while traveling, and choose the format that best supports ongoing progress with a licensed professional.
