About Karen

Karen Mohammed-Perry is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 25 years of clinical experience. She holds two master’s degrees and a post-master’s certificate in Treatment of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Clients (TADAC), training that informs her work with substance use and related concerns.

Over the course of her career she has helped people address stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. Her practice incorporates evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness techniques, and motivational interviewing to support measurable change and greater coping skills.

Karen emphasizes cultural sensitivity, competence, and compassion in every therapeutic relationship. She adapts dialogue and treatment planning to the specific needs and goals of each person, respecting individual differences while offering structured, practical strategies. Seeking a more fulfilling life takes courage, and she positions herself as a guide and collaborator in that process, supporting clients as they work toward clearer direction, improved well-being, and stronger relationships.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to emotional distress and replacing them with more adaptive responses - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance skills that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which helps with anxiety, trauma symptoms, and addictive urges. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that helps people strengthen their own motivation for change and is especially useful for substance use and ambivalence about making healthy changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Karen works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure treatment feels relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility to receive care by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into a busy life or to connect from different locations. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent, accessible support while adapting session style to what works best for each individual.
