Evidence-Informed Approaches, Made Accessible Online

Karen Galvin integrates practical, client-focused methods that translate well to online therapy. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can clarify what they feel, what they need, and what they want to change, which can be especially helpful during stressful life transitions or when self-esteem has taken a hit.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and experimenting with new ways of thinking and responding. It is often used to build coping skills for anxiety, depression, anger, and everyday stressors. Karen also offers EMDR, a structured approach that helps clients process distressing experiences in a guided way, commonly used when trauma or painful memories continue to show up in the present.

Because people and goals differ, the “right” approach is not one-size-fits-all. Karen works collaboratively with clients to choose strategies that match their needs, preferences, and pace, adjusting as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy adds flexibility without losing momentum. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules, travel, parenting demands, or changing routines.
