More about Karin
- 7 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW, LICSW
I am licensed in New York and Vermont with 6 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, depression, grief and loss, major life changes, coping with acute and chronic illness, family conflict, and relationship issues. I believe that individuals possess the innate capacity to make self-determined changes that lead to personal growth, psychological healing, positive relationships, and emotional well-being. My role as your therapist is to provide you with a safe, non-judgmental environment, and collaborate with you to build upon your personal strengths. My overall approach is person-centered and humanistic, yet I also draw upon many theoretical psychosocial frameworks and utilize various therapeutic modalities to meet my clients' unique therapeutic counseling needs.
If you are ready to take your next step toward personal development and improved mental health, I am here to empower and support you in that process.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
