Karen Vigeland, LCSW

Karen Vigeland is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who offers individual counseling for adults. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by listening closely, identifying strengths, and working on steady change. Her tone is calm and direct, aimed at someone who needs clear steps and practical support.

She helps with depression, anxiety, bipolar mood concerns, addictions, and stress. Relationship and intimacy-related concerns, grief, ADHD, and issues around self-esteem are also within her practice. Karen also addresses challenges tied to trauma and abuse, family problems, and career stresses.

Her approach centers on the client and draws on insight-oriented and strengths-based ideas. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try different behaviors, and build more balanced ways of coping. Techniques come from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior tools, and emotionally-focused ideas when relationships are part of the concern.

Karen has nine years of experience working with a range of people in different settings. She aims to keep sessions nonjudgmental and accepting, and she encourages clients to take small steps toward change. The goal is practical progress, not quick fixes.

People who value a collaborative, steady process often find her style helpful. Her practice is based in Florida and sessions are conducted in English. Prospective clients can use the site’s Start Therapy flow to begin the matching and scheduling process.

How selected approaches are used in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room and prioritizes listening, empathy, and collaboration. In online sessions this looks like the therapist checking in, reflecting what she hears, and helping clients set goals that feel doable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and provides clear strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal boundaries and can help when strong emotions or relationship patterns cause repeated problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to pick techniques that match their needs and goals. That collaboration can shift over time as progress is made or new concerns arise.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fit into a busy day and fewer travel demands, which helps maintain consistency. If you want to confirm which session formats are offered, check the booking details before scheduling. The focus remains on usable tools and steady progress that fit into everyday life.
