About Karen
Karen Mohammed-Perry is a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 25 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, and related life changes. She also addresses ADHD, grief, career questions, and issues that can follow adoption or separation.
Karen uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She draws on client-centered work to listen closely and on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Mindfulness tools and motivational interviewing are part of how she helps people build new routines and stay engaged with change.
Her background includes two master’s degrees and a post-master’s credential in Treatment of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Clients (TADAC). That training informs how she approaches addiction-related concerns and co-occurring issues such as substance use with mood or anxiety problems. Over the years she has worked with a wide range of presenting issues and evidence-based curricula.
In meetings she focuses on clear goals and practical steps. Conversations often include identifying patterns, trying small behavior changes, and reviewing what helped or didn’t help between sessions. She adapts the pace to each person’s comfort while keeping the work focused and results-oriented.
Karen practices in New York and conducts sessions in English. Before scheduling, people are asked to confirm the current session options by using the site flow to match and book their first appointment.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s perspective. In practice she uses this to clarify what matters most to the client and to set goals that feel relevant and doable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or problematic habits.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to choose which techniques fit their needs and preferences, adjusting methods over time based on what helps. The therapist and client review progress and change the plan as needed rather than sticking to a single method.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or making it simpler to schedule during a break from work. These practical benefits help people try consistent steps between meetings and keep momentum on everyday goals.
