About Karen Kelly

As a licensed therapist in Alaska, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients address challenges including depression, anxiety, trauma, and addiction. I have extensive experience working with diverse populations, including veterans, first responders, and individuals experiencing workplace stress, social isolation, and relationship difficulties.

My therapeutic approach is compassionate and tailored to each client’s unique needs. I focus on creating a supportive environment where individuals can explore difficult emotions, develop healthy coping strategies, and work through experiences of guilt, shame, and past trauma. Whether you’re dealing with mood disorders, relationship transitions, or seeking to overcome personal barriers, I’m committed to walking alongside you in your healing journey.

I bring a depth of understanding to complex issues like post-traumatic stress, domestic challenges, and substance use, offering skilled guidance rooted in evidence-based practices. My goal is to empower you to build resilience, improve communication, and create meaningful personal growth.
