About Karen
Karen Perry is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 17 years of clinical experience. She practices in Oklahoma and lists stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns among the issues she addresses, along with anger, depression, ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and work with clients in non-monogamous or polyamorous relationships.
Her working style is direct and interactive. She focuses on clear conversation about what is creating distress and practical steps to try between sessions. Sessions often include skills practice, reflection on relationship patterns, and strategies to reduce reactivity and manage strong feelings.
Karen uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive-behavioral tools and emotionally-focused ideas. She also draws on mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to help clients notice patterns and make intentional changes. These approaches guide how she structures sessions and homework.
She describes working collaboratively to set goals and adjust the plan as progress is made. That means checking in about what is and isn’t working, then adapting the focus to match current needs. For people dealing with anger, this can mean learning triggers, practicing calmer responses, and rebuilding trust after outbursts.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a practical plan together. It helps people clarify goals, name patterns that fuel anger, and decide what change looks like for them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so clients can test and change unhelpful reactions. CBT is useful for reducing frequent outbursts, managing workplace frustration, and shifting rigid beliefs that keep anger cycling.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at attachment and interaction patterns in close relationships. It helps people recognize how anger shows up between partners and teaches steps to repair trust and connection after conflicts.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and then try approaches that fit. Sessions are collaborative - adjustments are made as needed based on what helps most.
The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Many people find the flexibility helps them maintain consistency while practicing new skills in day-to-day life.
