About Karen
Karen Murphree is an LCSW with three decades of clinical experience. She combines traditional psychotherapy with a whole-person, strength-based focus. She often uses practical tools like guided imagery, music, art, movement, and education to help clients name their experience and find workable changes.
Her style is flexible and creative. Sessions may include brief teaching, gentle guided meditations, or activities to help people notice how food, sleep, and daily habits affect mood. She emphasizes clients' strengths and prefers to help people discover what already helps them feel steadier in life.
Karen draws from a range of evidence-informed practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy while also working with attachment-based ideas and EMDR-related methods. She weaves these with lifestyle and wellness strategies to address emotional states like anxiety, stress, grief, low self-esteem, and depression.
She identifies as LGBTQIA2S+ and is affirming of diverse sexual and gender identities, polyamory, kink, and other expansive identity expressions. That perspective informs how she helps people reconnect with their own sense of meaning and spiritual expression when that matters to them.
Longstanding clinical experience and a background that includes nursing inform her practical approach. She often shares educational links and homework between sessions to help people keep making progress outside of therapy.
People who prefer an open, respectful, and exploratory therapy process may find her approach a good fit. If you think this approach might help, follow the site steps to request a match and schedule a session.
