About Karie
LICSW in Rhode Island with 19 years of experience, Karie Leduc helps people work through stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship and parenting concerns. She focuses on practical steps that make daily life more manageable. Karie describes psychotherapy as a process that uncovers what has been useful and what gets in the way of change. She works with emotions closely and pays attention to nonverbal signals during sessions.
Karie frames sessions as collaborative and goal-focused. She says therapy can be emotionally transformative and that she is an active participant in the work. Together with each person she sets clear goals and follows a concrete path toward them. This includes naming obstacles, recognizing strengths, and building on those strengths to support change.
Her clinical background includes nearly two decades as a licensed clinical social worker in Rhode Island and more than nine years in private practice. That mix of community mental health and private practice informs a practical approach to common issues like depression, anxiety, mood concerns, and adjustment to life changes such as work or relationship transitions.
Karie attends to emotions and affect, and she observes how feelings show up beyond words. She also helps people consider behaviors, thought patterns, and relationship dynamics that keep problems going. Sessions aim to clarify decisions, reduce distress, and create more options for moving forward.
She offers communication outside of sessions several times a day and says she provides live chat, phone sessions, and video sessions when needed. If you are considering starting, follow the site's matching steps to schedule a first appointment.

How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Two common evidence-based approaches she references are emotion-focused work and goal-directed psychotherapy. Emotion-focused work centers on identifying, naming, and processing feelings so they become easier to manage; it is often used for grief, relationship strain, and trauma-related reactions. Goal-directed psychotherapy focuses on setting clear, measurable goals and following concrete steps to reduce distress and improve decision-making, which helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made or as circumstances shift.
Her biography notes she offers live chat, phone sessions and video sessions when needed, but confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and give options that do not require traveling. Therapists can use video to observe nonverbal communication, phone for lower bandwidth or when screens aren’t practical, and chat for brief exchanges or supplementing regular sessions.
