About Karen
Karen Vigeland is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides one-on-one counseling to adults. She focuses on creating a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about depression, anxiety, grief, and other concerns. Her approach aims to help people identify problems and use their strengths to make change.
She brings nine years of experience working with diverse populations and in a range of settings. That background informs practical ways to handle stress, burnout, and life transitions.
Background and approach
Sessions are paced to match what each person needs, whether that means short-term problem solving or deeper work over time. Karen uses client-centered listening to understand what matters most to each person. She combines that with cognitive-behavioral tools to notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Dialectical skills are added when people need help tolerating strong emotions and building steadier routines. Her work also draws on emotionally focused and existential ideas to help people make sense of relationships, meaning, and identity. This can be useful for concerns like attachment, abandonment, intimacy, and identity-related stress.
The aim is to help people feel more grounded and able to face everyday challenges. Karen supports clients dealing with a wide range of issues including bipolar disorder, addictions, eating concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also helps with career stress, communication problems, family-related difficulties, and coping with aging.
The overall focus is practical change built on personal strengths.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. Online sessions let a therapist follow your pace, reflect what they hear, and help you set goals that feel meaningful. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to change thoughts and behaviors. In online sessions this looks like setting small, doable tasks, reviewing how they went, and practicing new thinking between meetings. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers skills to tolerate distress, regulate emotion, and improve relationships. Delivered remotely, DBT skills can be practiced in brief check-ins or reinforced through messaging between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust as you go. Many people mix approaches to get both skill-building and deeper insight, and that blending often happens naturally during the first few sessions.
Online therapy offers flexibility across different formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text can work well for short check-ins, practicing skills, or when a quick message fits into a busy day. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
