Karen Buroff

Karen Buroff is a licensed clinical social worker who uses mindfulness as a central part of therapy. She blends mindful practices with clear, practical tools so people can manage stress and anxiety in daily life.

She brings 15 years of experience helping people facing depression, trauma, and persistent mental health challenges. Many clients have sought her out for help with self-esteem, relationship strain, grief, and changes related to career or parenting. She has also worked extensively with military members and veterans and with people who have experienced physical or emotional trauma.

Her style is warm, interactive, and grounded in respect. Sessions focus on the person's strengths and on concrete steps they can try between meetings. She tailors conversation and goals to each person's needs rather than using one fixed plan.

Karen uses practical therapies such as cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused work alongside trauma-informed practices. She helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior, practice new responses, and build everyday habits that reduce reactivity and improve functioning.

She holds the LCSW credential and is licensed to practice in California. When someone is ready to begin, she supports them through the first steps and helps set goals that fit their life.

Mindfulness and practical therapies for online care

Karen combines Mindfulness Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. Mindfulness Therapy helps people build moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can ease anxiety and improve sleep. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on respectful listening and tailoring the conversation to the person's needs so goals feel relevant and doable. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors that maintain problems and offers straightforward exercises to try between sessions to shift those patterns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Karen collaborates with each person to see which methods fit their goals, rhythm, and comfort level. She adjusts techniques as progress is made so the plan stays useful and practical.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can help fit care into busy lives by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every meeting. Many people find it easier to practice mindfulness and CBT exercises in the settings where they live and work, which can make skill-building more directly applicable to daily life.
