About Karen
Karen Stockham is a licensed professional clinical counselor with 24 years of experience. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered and cognitive behavioral methods to help people manage stress, relationship struggles, and life transitions. Karen speaks English and practices from New Mexico, offering sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Her work focuses on practical change. She helps people sort through anxiety, grief, mood concerns, and addiction. She also supports those dealing with parenting strain, blended family issues, communication problems, and challenges tied to intimacy and trust.
Background and approach
In sessions she blends listening with action. Conversations look at feelings, patterns, and everyday steps that bring relief. She uses CBT to link thoughts and behaviors, and client-centered techniques to make sure each person’s goals guide the work.
She often draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship bonds and attachment needs are central. That approach helps people notice felt emotions and how those feelings shape interactions with partners or family members. Karen has experience with a wide range of concerns, including bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
She also offers coaching around career, life purpose, and transitions. Her style is straightforward and goal-oriented, with attention to what will make daily life feel better. When someone is ready to begin, the process starts by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session.
Karen supports people at their own pace and focuses on usable tools that fit real life.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotions and attachment. It helps people notice what they feel in the moment and how those feelings affect relationships. This approach can be useful when cycles of disconnection, hurt, or fear are central to a problem.Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s goals first. Sessions are guided by the client’s priorities and paced to match comfort and readiness. It supports self-direction and helps people feel heard as they work toward change.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. It uses practical exercises and experiments to shift unhelpful patterns and build concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood, and daily stress.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Karen will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts the plan over time based on what is working and what isn’t.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling work, parenting, or other demands. Video calls allow more visual interaction, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports short updates or reflective prompts between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue progress across different settings.
