Karen Scott, LICSW — Therapist in Washington

Hi there, I'm Karen!

Feeling stuck or overwhelmed? You're not alone. I help clients navigate anxiety, stress, self-doubt, and life changes with compassion. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to the life you want to create for yourself.

My focus

I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, work burnout, and self-esteem challenges.

My approach

I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thoughts. My approach is practical and collaborative, giving you tools to feel more in control. I may also incorporate mindfulness or other techniques to support your unique goals and progress.

My communication style

I provide clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey in becoming a provider has been 25+ years of experience helping people reach their goals through compassion and active listening.

My goals for you

I see therapy as a partnership. Together, we will set goals that matter to you. As you gain new insights, we will adapt your plan to stay meaningful and supportive as you move toward where you want to be.

Our first session

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. We will move at your pace, one step at a time, and I will be there to guide you.
