About Karen

LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Florida with 30 years of experience, Karen Epple helps people facing grief, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, stress, sleep difficulties, ADHD concerns, LGBT issues, and life transitions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to address practical problems and mood struggles.

Karen works in straightforward, conversational sessions. She listens, helps sort out immediate problems, and suggests small changes that can reduce stress. Sessions often focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing simple mindfulness skills, and setting short-term action steps to improve daily routines and sleep.

Her background includes long experience across a range of clinical settings supporting people through end-of-life care, caregiver stress, domestic violence, family difficulties, and aging-related challenges. This experience informs how she talks through grief, hospice and bereavement concerns, and caregiver strain.

In practical terms Karen helps clients work on mood disorders, smoking and vaping cessation, finding life purpose, and building self-love and confidence. She also addresses women's issues and forgiveness work when those topics arise in sessions. The approach is problem-focused with attention to emotions and coping skills.

Sessions follow a readable, down-to-earth style rather than clinical jargon. People who want clear steps, relief from persistent worry, or tools to manage change will likely find this approach useful. To begin, follow the site’s process to match and schedule a first session.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Karen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns. In practice this looks like noticing specific thoughts that increase worry or low mood and testing small behavior changes to see what helps.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing skills. These techniques help reduce racing thoughts, support better sleep habits, and provide a way to pause before reacting to stress.

Solution-Focused Therapy guides short-term goal setting and practical steps. Sessions often end with one or two concrete actions to try between meetings, making progress feel manageable.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss needs, preferences, and goals and then try methods that fit. Plans are adjusted based on what proves most useful in session and in daily life.

The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, or use a quicker check-in when needed. Licensed professionals commonly adapt CBT and mindfulness exercises to remote work so clients can practice skills between meetings.
