About Karen
Karen Perry is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 17 years of experience based in Oklahoma. She works with people who face stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, addictions, anger, compassion fatigue, and the challenges of life transitions. She also focuses on issues related to polyamory and non-monogamous relationships.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of her approaches alongside client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques. Sessions emphasize clear conversation about feelings, patterns, and practical next steps. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolkit when they fit a person's goals.
In session she listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating. Then she and the client work on identifying small, concrete changes to try between sessions. She aims for direct, understandable language rather than technical terms. Many people find this approach useful when emotions feel confusing or when relationship patterns replay old hurts.
She describes therapy as collaborative. Clients can expect help naming emotions, tracking reactions, and practicing new ways of responding. Treatment plans are based on what a person wants to change, not a preset checklist.
Karen accepts people from other countries for work in English. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, the client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and changing the emotional patterns that shape how people relate. It helps when feelings are hard to name or when relationship interactions keep repeating painful cycles.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and prioritizing the client’s own perspective. The therapist reflects what the client says and helps the person find their own answers, which can be useful for building self-esteem and clarity.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers practical techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes between sessions, which can help with anxiety, depression, and anger.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit best based on goals and preferences. That conversation often continues as progress is made and needs shift.
