About Karmen

Karmen Andrews is a licensed professional counselor based in Oklahoma who helps people manage overwhelming emotions and life transitions. She emphasizes a compassionate, client-informed environment where individuals can safely examine patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship difficulties.

Background and approach

Karmen draws on evidence-based methods to support clients in building coping skills, improving self-esteem, and addressing trauma and mood concerns. Her practice blends practical skill-building with reflective, person-centered work that honors each client’s values and goals.

With four years of professional experience and an LPC credential, she uses a mix of approaches to tailor sessions to the needs presented, whether the focus is on emotional regulation, communication, or recovery from substance-related challenges. Karmen aims to collaborate with clients to identify meaningful steps toward greater resilience and clearer decision-making in daily life.

How these approaches guide online therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic behaviors. It often involves homework and skill practice that can be carried out between sessions to build lasting coping strategies.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports self-directed growth. This approach helps people feel heard and develop their own solutions to relationship stress, self-esteem issues, and life changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to clarify goals, try methods that fit personal preferences, and adjust techniques over time so the plan stays attuned to what actually helps.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow clients to engage from home or other convenient locations, accommodate different schedules, and continue work between meetings using therapeutic tasks and messaging as needed.
