Hi! I think therapists all provide something a bit different, so it's important to try and find the right fit. My approach has been successful with couples, adolescents, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and adults who have a history of feeling misunderstood. My experience also extends to individuals on the autism spectrum, trauma, navigating communication, and boundary difficulties.

All of us experience loss and changes sometime in our lives. We try our best to move forward but many times we get stuck and can't see how we have been impacted. That can leave us feeling hurt, alone, and scared, and may at times even lead to a mental health disorder. I think many of us during these times are looking for a guide that can see them authentically and help them heal.

Do you feel overwhelmed with a life transition, anxiety, depression, or feel the pain of loss? I use best practice research based trauma techniques which can gently reduce the stress response, eliminate distressing symptoms, and restore your natural ability to heal. I use MBCT (mindfulness based cognitive therapy). which can be extremely helpful to manage feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, or navigate a life transition. Learning this practice can change how you think, feel, and react. I also support you with the pain of grief through meaning and acceptance of your loss I look forward to hearing from you! All the Best, Karen Jo (KJ)

It's the middle of the night and your mind is racing. There seems to always be "one more thing" to do. You've always been so good at crushing your goals. But somewhere along the way, things just started getting harder. Self-doubt and anxiety make decision making seem almost impossible. You're responsible for so many things: your home, your work, your relationships. Sometimes, you may not even remember why you said "yes" to all these things in the first place. So here you are, overwhelmed, unsure, and doing everything you can to "keep it together." You put on your "brave face," hide how you're feeling, and hope no one notices.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
