About Karen
Karen Mohammed-Perry is an LMHC licensed in New York with 25 years of professional experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and anger. She also supports concerns related to relationships, parenting, sleep and career changes.
She combines straightforward conversation with several evidence-informed methods. That includes cognitive behavioral techniques for changing unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns. She uses mindfulness practices to help clients notice reactions and build calm. Motivational interviewing appears in her work to strengthen readiness for change.
Karen has academic training that includes two master’s degrees and a post-master’s in Treatment of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Clients (TADAC). Over the years she has used structured, curriculum-based approaches alongside open, client-focused talk. Her background includes work with addiction programs and other clinical settings.
Sessions tend to focus on practical skills. Clients often learn ways to spot triggers, interrupt cycles of reactivity, and try small behavior experiments between meetings. Conversation also addresses underlying patterns such as codependency, avoidance, or shame when those issues come up.
She works in English and practices with attention to culture and respect. The first session usually clarifies goals and maps a simple plan. Follow-up work tracks progress and adjusts techniques based on what helps most.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Karen uses client-centered conversation alongside cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques. Client-centered work means the therapist listens and follows what matters most to the client, then shapes sessions around those priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce reactivity and anger. Mindfulness therapy teaches practical attention and breathing skills to notice impulses before acting.Deciding which mix of approaches to use is a collaborative process. She will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those aims, and adjust based on what helps. That way the plan evolves from short check-ins and concrete exercises into longer skill-building when it’s useful.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and use exercises that transfer directly into daily life. Many people find that doing skill practice between meetings helps the work stick, and she integrates those home exercises into the plan.
