Karen Cooper, LPC — Therapist in New Jersey

Hi there, I'm Karen!

I work with adults and teens. I specialize in anxiety, depression, life stressors, substance abuse, and co-occurring disorders. My treatment modalities are determined by the needs of the individual.

My focus

I work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, life stressors, relationship issues, family and childhood problems, substance abuse, and co-occurring disorders.

My approach

My approach to therapy is to provide safe, warm, nurturing, and nonjudgmental sessions along with active listening. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy has been successful.

My communication style

My communication style is calm and soothing. I want my clients to feel comfortable during their sessions.

My journey to mental healthcare

I decided to become a therapist because I enjoy helping others during their difficult times accomplish their goals. Prior to becoming a therapist, my friends, family, and colleagues always felt comfortable discussing their struggles with me.

My goals for you

My goals for my clients are working together, setting measurable goals, with positive outcomes that you are comfortable with.

Our first session

During our first session, we will begin to build a trusting relationship. We will discuss your feelings and struggles so I can get an understanding of how we will begin to move forward.
