So far my sessions with Karen are going well, she understands my challenges, she listens to me and most of all she understands me beyond the small things I am telling her. She shares great information to me via messages as well which really help

Karen has been such a support for me in the last two years. She is an amazing listener and really knew how to react and help me when I was going through a depressive episode. Karen has provided me with many tools that I can use going forward, to combat my depression and anxiety. She offers up her own experiences and provides a no judgment space. I was very comfortable sharing with her. Karen really went above and beyond for me, always being prompt in her response time and taking the time to look up facilities and mental health resources in my area.

Karen is the kindest soul I know. She will deal with every concern with utmost love and compassion.

Karen has offered tremendous support for me as I have entered a very difficult stage of life in becoming a full-time caregiver for my aging mother who has dementia. Karen has offered insight, and reminded me of important priorities, and has offered practical support and ideas as well. She easily relates to my thoughts and ideas and offers grounding support and guidance. She has been particularly helpful in helping place perspective on the coronavirus pandemic. I would recommend Karen to anyone seeking support and insight into their own thoughts and behaviors. Thank you Karen!

I have come to work through many internal issues and wounds with Karen’s support. Through counseling with Karen via BetterHelp, I have discovered, overcome and have healed things I didn’t even know where in me. I’ve grown so much!

I have been very impressed with Better help and the availability of my counselor Karen being available in more ways than a session. I'ts been great to have a way to express some thoughts and struggles between counseling sessions. Karen has given me some very useful tools

Karen is knowledgable and truly cares about her clients! She always addresses my concerns and it's nice that she obviously makes notes and doesn't just listen without doing any work. I've had counselors think they just need to be an confidential ear for someone to vent to and that is enough. Yes it helps, but it helps a lot more if they can reference your past sessions and actually remember what you vented about! Lol! Karen is a jewel!

Karen is kind, thoughtful, and compassionate. She makes me feel heard, and offers heartfelt, insightful comments. She’s definitely helps me to see myself in a new light.

I absolutely believe in her abilities as a therapist and she amazing. We have worked through so many of my problems and I know that I can count on her to give me the best advice with zero judgement.

Karen is a wonderful counselor. She always responds to messages within a day or so, and makes sure to check in on me. She’s very easy to talk to, and I feel comfortable sharing things that I’ve had issues sharing in the past.

I appreciate the flexibility Karen provides. She must take great notes as she remembers almost everything I’ve told her!!

She really cares about her clients. Her insights and wisdom have been very helpful in helping me identify issues and feelings within myself that previously struggled to understand.

I couldn’t ask for a better person to hold me accountable, voice understand while encouraging change and challenging me to be the best version of myself. She has been such a blessing in my life in many ways.

Karen was the perfect match for me. She understands a lot of what I am going through because of her own life experiences. She is very knowledgeable in the subjects I am most concerned with in my life. I feel like she truly does care and that the articles she sends me are most helpful. Thank you for giving me the gift of Karen!

She is simply amazing! She’s very experienced and open minded. She helps with problems big and small. She gives me the tools needed to cope with things big and small. She’s very understanding, compassionate, and insightful. I highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!

Karen’s the best! Talking to her is so easy. She supports me but is also honest and gives good feedback and challenges me. We’re going on a year and even though some of the toughest times are behind me I still gain so much from our meetings together and look forward to continuing our sessions for the foreseeable future!

Absolutely adore Karen! She has a heart of gold and one of the most supportive people I know! I’m very grateful for every moment we’re in contact.

Karen has helped me so much and I feel so free to share anything with her. I don't know where I would be if I hadn't connected with her! Thank God for her.

Karen has been a blessing to have in my life. She is attentive, listens incredibly well, gives fantastic insight and ideas on how to better myself, and has given me plenty to work with in my toolbox of coping mechanisms. I would highly recommend Karen to any of my friends or family.

Karen is extremely knowledgeable, caring, kind, and makes me feel like I can be open with her about the issues I struggle with including family, relationships, communication, and self image.

Karen is fantastic and understands what empathy in action looks like. She's kept me sane in my darkest hours, reminded me time and again that I'm not alone and has given me practical tools to move forward. I am so grateful.

Karen is amazing. She listens to your concerns and she’s kind and very caring. She’s very helpful, and she gently nudges you to getting your life back to where it needs to be. I absolutely love her.

Karen is amazing. We get along really well and she is very supportive. Whenever I tell her about anything, she always has ideas to help me see things from a new perspective and find solutions to whatever I turn to her with. We mostly communicate through messages and when I write very long messages, she really takes the time to properly go through them and give me the best answer possible. Couldn't have picked a better person to guide me.

Karen is so awesome!!!! She truly gets you where you are at, and she gives you practical advice on how to change it. I love the way that she gently will nudge you if you are not maybe being completely honest or there is more to the story. She has saved my life more then once. I am so blessed that I found a counselor that truly gets me, and meets me right where i am at and we go from there :)

Karen is a wonderful listener. Extremely patient and kind as she gently nudges you onto the right path. She has the wonderful ability to put you at ease and feel heard. She provides useful resources to help guide you toward your goals.

Karen is very sweet and I love the advice she gives. I love knowing that I can pick up my phone and message her anytime.

She is a great listener and a skilled counselor.

Karen is absolutely wonderful. Not only does she listen to you and offers her advice, she works with your own thoughts to solve the problem, which I really appreciate. She values your thoughts and feelings that instead of a stranger I met a couple of weeks ago, she feels like a friend.

I love her so much! Her help in just these past few weeks has been so beneficial. I can’t thank her enough for the insight she has given to me. It’s so nice to hear a new perspective and she is such a great fit for me.

Working with Karen is really helpful. Her advice is real and to the point! Wish I could meet her in person.

I'm very thankful for Karen, she has helped me cope. I find thing much more tolerable now. I would recommend Karen to anyone looking for help. I know at some point I may leave BetterHelp when I feel confident enough to handle things. But if I need to come back to BetterHelp I know I will be requesting Karen.

Karen is really intuitive about my needs and we communicate very well. I have learned so much from her.

Karen was very helpful, she made me see things from a different standpoint and also gave me a few articles to read!!!

Karen is kind, patient, and gives me wonderful tricks to stay on track. She checks on me if I take longer than normal to respond, which I love. Karen also celebrates with me when I do well. I am happy to be working with her.

Karen is very warm and she always knows what to say. She understands me and she supports me. When I’m having a bad day, she’s always there for me. And after we have talked, I always feel better and she encourages me to become a better version of myself. Thank you for not only being my counselor, but a friend. I would recommend Karen because she is good at her job and she really does her best to help me

Karen is very sweet and very intuitive. Great people skills, and very knowledgeable.

I appreciate the fact that Karen reaches out to check on me even when I haven’t sent an email. She often reminds me to self care and offers advice without a condescending tone. I have enjoyed my experience thus far.

She’s beautiful and very warm. She’s got spunk. You can tell! She sends you things that are helpful and really listens. Karen is a great counselor! A wonderful woman!!

Karen is so caring and insightful! She is not afraid to be honest, but does so with a tremendous amount of tact and understanding. Feels just like talking to a friend, but one who is an expert at approaching a vast variety of situations and emotions!

Karen has been so kind and helpful. She is very professional but also adds in her charming personality. It feels like I'm talking to a friend but one that knows what they're talking about.

Karen has been great!

Karen is kind and wonderful to speak with. She addresses everything very openly and honestly, and makes sure you are making progress on your personal journey. I look forward to continuing on mine with her thoughtful guidance.

Karen is really understanding. I'm glad that she listens to me in a nonjudgmental way. That she does what she can to understand, help me calm down, etc, with the information I give her, and that she responds to all my "essay long" messages in detail.

At first I wasn't sure if Karen would be a fit for me, because I am an over thinker and thought she might be very black and white thinking. WOW! Karen is AMAZING! She immediately checked on me, gave me support and explained in very easy language how she can help me without me losing control. My PTSD and depression were out of my control and Karen has quickly helped me re-set my thinking. She assures me that I am in control of my sessions.... she really cares!
