About Karen
Karen Vigeland is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with nine years of clinical experience. She provides individual counseling to adults and helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, relationship concerns, addiction, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related issues.
She uses a client-centered way of working that focuses on insight and strengths. That means conversations look at what is driving a problem and what the person already does well. Karen helps clients notice patterns, shift unhelpful thoughts and adjust behaviors that get in the way of daily life.
Sessions are straightforward and practical. Conversations may involve identifying triggers, learning skills to manage strong emotions, and practicing new ways of responding in stressful situations. The work often includes attention to relationships, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Her background includes experience with diverse populations across different settings. Karen notes additional focus on issues such as attachment, abandonment, caregiver stress, communication problems, and co-occurring difficulties. She also lists work related to aging concerns, autism spectrum issues, personality-related patterns, and intimacy-related struggles.
English is the language she uses in sessions. For people who want to begin, the usual first step is a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled first session. Costs vary with location and sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
Approach choices and how online sessions fit
Karen commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's perspective and builds on their strengths to make practical changes. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches strategies to change unhelpful thinking and reactions.She also lists Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) among her approaches, which offers specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These methods can help with anger, anxiety, depression, and relationship patterns by giving concrete tools and ways to practice them between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client discuss needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit best. That collaborative process may mean blending approaches or trying different techniques until something clicks.

Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, skills training, and problem-solving work to remote sessions so therapy can be practical and usable in everyday life.
