About Karen
Karen Hargrove is a Licensed Professional Counselor with ten years of experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, grief, addictions, and relationship concerns. Karen aims to help people notice what matters to them and build practical ways to handle intense feelings.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions are conversational and aim to strengthen a client's sense of self. She encourages clients to draw on their life experience as a resource for change and to build strategies that fit their day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Karen also addresses issues like parenting strain, intimacy-related concerns, career stress, and coping with life changes. She brings experience with mood disorders, ADHD, post-traumatic stress, and first responder issues. The work can include coaching-style support for goals alongside more traditional counseling conversations.
People who are exploring gender identity or who identify as LGBT can find a respectful space to talk about identity and related stressors. Karen also attends to multicultural concerns and women's issues in ways that honor each person’s background and values. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, doable steps.
Over time the aim is to help clients respond to themselves and others in ways that feel more in line with their values. Karen practices in Georgia and conducts sessions in English.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Karen uses evidence-based techniques that help people manage intense emotions and rebuild daily routines. One approach focuses on identifying values and taking small actions that match those values, which helps when anger, anxiety, or low mood get in the way of daily life. Another common approach centers on skill-building for emotion regulation and coping; this teaches concrete ways to notice triggers, calm strong reactions, and recover after conflict.Choosing the best approach happens together. The therapist will listen to your goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what works for you. The process is collaborative and paced to fit your needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let you have deeper conversations that feel most like in-person sessions. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow for ongoing support, quick check-ins, or work between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to get consistent support from licensed professionals.
