About Karen
Karen Peck is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 18 years of experience. She works in Oklahoma and draws on long experience helping people navigate hard moments. Karen focuses on practical support and clear steps rather than confusing jargon.
She helps people facing substance use and addiction concerns. She also supports those living with trauma, post-traumatic stress, and the effects of abuse. Grief, major life changes, anger, low self-esteem, and career stress are part of her caseload as well.
Background and approach
Karen uses a mix of approaches that fit the person and the problem. She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness strategies are used to help people stay present and manage strong emotions.
Motivational interviewing is part of her work when someone is weighing change. Trauma-focused methods are used for people processing past hurt and stressful events. Dialectical behavior methods help with emotional regulation and communication problems.
Her style is collaborative and strengths-focused. She treats the person as the expert on their own life and helps them build on what already works. Sessions aim to be straightforward, practical, and focused on attainable steps.
People who want clear techniques, steady support, and help applying tools in daily life may find her approach helpful. Karen speaks English and offers several remote session formats to fit different schedules and needs.

How therapy approaches fit into online care
Karen commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and build different habits. CBT focuses on small, practical steps that change thoughts and behaviors and can help with anger, anxiety, and addiction issues.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy tools to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. DBT techniques can be useful when strong emotions make it hard to stay calm or communicate clearly.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences and recommend a combination of methods that fit each person's needs. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively which tools to try and adjust them over time.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when schedules permit, while phone calls work well for lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for flexible, on-the-go communication and brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum between meetings.
