Karen Hanson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
About Karen
I’m a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through life’s most challenging moments. Over my career, I’ve worked with clients of all ages navigating depression, anxiety, stress, addiction, relationship difficulties, and trauma. I bring a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach to therapy, creating a safe space where you can explore your concerns at your own pace.
My areas of focus include self-love and self-worth, communication challenges, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, social anxiety, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and trauma recovery. I also support clients working through relationship transitions, attachment concerns, family dynamics, workplace stress, financial worries, and major life changes. Whether you’re facing grief, abandonment, codependency, or identity questions, I’m here to help you build resilience and move forward.
I work with diverse populations and welcome clients of all backgrounds and beliefs. My approach is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and respect for your unique story. I believe therapy works best when we partner together—with you as the expert of your own life and me as a supportive guide.
Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I’m honored to walk alongside you on your healing journey.
