Karen Sollberger

Karen Sollberger is a Licensed Professional Counselor who practices in Louisiana. She has nine years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and difficult life changes. Karen seeks to create an open space where clients can speak honestly and feel heard.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She helps people name what is most troubling them, then works with them to set clear, manageable goals. Sessions focus on small changes that add up, using tools drawn from cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness when they fit the person's needs.

Karen also brings client-centered and solution-focused ways of working into sessions. That means she listens first, follows the client's lead, and looks for realistic steps to try between meetings. She uses existential ideas too, helping people consider meaning and values when they’re facing big life decisions.

People come to Karen for a wide range of concerns including compassion fatigue, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, anger, career difficulties, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and LGBT- related stress. She also addresses related struggles such as attachment issues, codependency, body image, and dissociation.

Karen aims to support and empower each person’s goals rather than give one-size-fits-all answers. She encourages steady progress, honest conversation, and practical methods to help people feel more capable in daily life.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting conversation. Online sessions can focus on open, nonjudgmental dialogue where the therapist follows the client's concerns and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Practically, online CBT often uses short homework tasks and simple skill practice between meetings to reduce anxiety or lift mood.

Existential Therapy helps people weigh meaning, values, and life choices. In remote sessions this can look like guided reflection and steps to test new ways of living that match a person’s values.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that seem likely to help, and adjust plans when something isn’t working. That collaborative testing helps find what fits best for the individual.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let them practice skills between meetings without long travel. Ask about available formats when you schedule to see what will suit your routine.
