Karen Stockham , LPCC

Karen Stockham brings 24 years of clinical experience working with individuals, couples, children, adolescents and whole families to address a wide range of life challenges. She approaches therapy as a practical tool for improving communication, reducing stress, setting and achieving goals, and creating healthier relationships, combining a Solution-Oriented and Family Therapy style with an emphasis on empowering clients to make meaningful changes.

As an LPCC, which stands for Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to explore how thoughts, behaviors and perspectives shape emotions and actions. That blend of practical problem solving and cognitive work helps clients gain insight and develop concrete skills for coping with everyday difficulties.

Her clinical focus includes marriage and family counseling, mediation, anger management and conflict resolution, and she enjoys supporting families as they navigate parenting challenges, couple issues and the routines of daily life. She also works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and loss, addiction, self-esteem, intimacy and career-related issues among others.

On a personal note, Karen is a mother of five boys and a grandmother to three. She enjoys family time, photography, outdoor activities, exercise and volunteering at the local BioPark. An action-oriented counselor, she values accessible methods of care and supports clients in moving at a pace that feels right for them while learning to use online tools and resources effectively.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Karen integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the therapist listens deeply and helps clients explore their values and goals - it is useful for improving self-esteem, relationships and life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then practicing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Karen works with each person to understand their needs, goals and preferences and tailors interventions so the therapy fits the individual rather than the other way around. She emphasizes practical steps and skill building while honoring each person’s pace and priorities.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility and accessibility through video sessions, phone appointments, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care from home or elsewhere while working toward meaningful change with a therapist.
