Karen Sollberger

Karen Sollberger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana. She has nine years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She aims to make the first step toward change easier by offering steady, nonjudgmental support.

Her style centers on listening and helping people name what matters to them. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking. She encourages clients to voice fears and hopes so they can move forward with more confidence.

In the therapy room she combines client-centered listening with strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. That mix helps when someone needs both understanding and hands-on tools to cope with difficult feelings or habits. Solution-focused ideas often guide short-term goals and next steps.

She also brings attention to life meaning through existential questions when clients want to examine purpose, choices, or values. This can be helpful for people facing big transitions or decisions.

Karen works with a wide range of concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, addictions, ADHD, anger, career issues, parenting stress, bipolar concerns, and LGBT-related matters. She also addresses attachment, communication, codependency, and other relational or personality-related issues.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and empathy. It means the therapist follows the client's lead, asks reflective questions, and helps people feel heard as they sort through difficult feelings and decisions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, uses simple steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and building new coping habits through clear exercises and practice between sessions.

Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment and breathing. It helps reduce reactivity and supports managing stress, compassion fatigue, and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That means trying ideas, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are available. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and make it easier to balance work or family responsibilities. Others prefer different formats for shorter check-ins or longer conversations, and the therapist will help match the format to practical needs.
