About Karen
Karen House is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Colorado with 25 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, LGBT concerns, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, bipolar disorder, and depression. Sessions are practical and goal-focused, with simple tools to try between meetings.
Karen uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral approaches to address strong emotions and recurring patterns. She helps people name and understand difficult feelings and the relationship dynamics that often keep problems going. Work in session builds on earlier conversations so progress can be steady and concrete.
Her background includes long-term clinical experience across many presenting concerns, and she draws on techniques from EMDR and existential therapy when helpful. She emphasizes problem-solving and practical strategies that can be applied between sessions. Homework and in-between activities are part of the plan to reinforce change.
Sessions aim to increase emotional awareness and improve how people respond to stress, loss, and relationship strain. Karen also supports people facing addiction, trauma recovery, and complicated grief, using tools suited to the concern at hand. She works collaboratively to identify which methods will be most useful.
People meet with Karen to reduce symptoms and to learn new ways of relating to their emotions and challenges. The early sessions tend to focus on a few immediate tools. Later meetings expand skills and address deeper issues as they arise.
How Karen applies EFT, CBT and client-centered work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with strong emotions and attachment-related patterns. It helps people put names to difficult feelings and change the ways they respond to those feelings. Client-Centered Therapy centers the persons own perspective and uses that viewpoint to guide sessions and set goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers specific strategies to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the early work. Karen will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then recommend which methods to try first. The decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve over time.
