Karen Perry

Karen Perry is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 17 years of practice. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, relationship or intimacy concerns, and struggles with self-esteem. She also supports people coping with trauma, addiction, ADHD, anger, compassion fatigue, and non-monogamous relationship questions.

Her style is warm and interactive. She listens first, then works with each person to shape conversations that feel useful. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer communication, and small changes that add up over time.

Karen blends mindfulness practices with client-centered conversation and cognitive behavioral techniques. That mix is used to slow down upsetting thoughts, test unhelpful patterns, and build new habits. Motivational interviewing and emotionally-focused ideas are added when helpful to explore values and deepen emotional connection.

She designs each plan around what a person wants to change and how they prefer to work. Sessions can include guided attention exercises, thought-challenging tools, and focused conversations about relationship needs or sexual and intimacy concerns. Polyamory and other non-traditional relationship arrangements are an area of additional focus.

Karen practices in Oklahoma and offers services in English. She has worked in clinical settings for many years and aims to create a respectful space where people feel heard and can practice new ways of coping.

How her approaches work online and in session

Mindfulness Therapy helps people pay steady attention to thoughts and bodily sensations so they can respond differently to stress and anxiety. It often uses short attention practices and simple exercises to quiet racing thoughts and build more control over reactions.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the person. It supports clearer self-understanding and helps people choose goals that fit their values and life situation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying out alternative ways of thinking and behaving. It is practical and task-oriented, often using small exercises between sessions to test new habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Karen will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to use based on their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in early sessions. That choice is revisited as needed so therapy stays focused and relevant.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets clients use guided mindfulness practices and worksheet-style CBT exercises during or between meetings.
