About Karen
Karen Kelly is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Alaska with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on supporting people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and related concerns. Her background includes work with first responders and veterans, and she brings practical understanding from prior roles in law enforcement and 911 dispatch.
She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters now. She helps people identify manageable steps, build coping skills, and make clearer choices about relationships, work, and health. The approach is collaborative - the client’s goals guide each plan.
Karen draws on therapies that encourage values-driven choices, skill building, and processing difficult memories. She uses methods that help people notice patterns, reduce overwhelming emotion, and practice new ways of responding. Sessions emphasize small changes that make daily life easier.
Her work often addresses grief, anger, guilt, shame, isolation, and the stress that comes from big life shifts. She also supports people facing addiction, post-traumatic stress, seasonal mood changes, and compassion fatigue. When needed, she integrates approaches for emotional regulation and trauma processing.
Sessions are conducted in English and French. Prospective clients should confirm the current session options before booking and follow the site process to get started.
