About Karen Slaton

As a licensed therapist in South Carolina & Florida, I specialize in supporting individuals through life’s complex challenges. My professional approach centers on compassionate, faith-informed counseling that addresses a wide range of emotional and psychological experiences. I have extensive expertise in helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and addiction.

My practice focuses on supporting individuals through significant life transitions, including relationship challenges, caregiver stress, midlife shifts, and healing from traumatic experiences. I’m particularly committed to working with women, young adults, veterans, and older adults facing unique emotional challenges.

Drawing from a Christian perspective, I offer a supportive environment that honors each person’s spiritual journey while providing evidence-based therapeutic strategies. My goal is to help clients develop healthy communication skills, overcome isolation, process feelings of guilt and shame, and cultivate personal growth and resilience.

I approach each therapeutic relationship with deep respect, understanding that healing is a personal and transformative process. Together, we’ll work collaboratively to address your specific needs and support your path toward emotional wellness.

“Karen is very understanding and compassionate. I feel at ease speaking with her.”

“My therapist is a great listener, resourceful and brings humor to intense conversations. Even if she doesn't know the answer to my question, she researches and circles back in a timely manner.”

“I've had a few sessions with Karen and I'm enjoying my experience with her. She listens to me and responds with kindness. Karen also sends me additional worksheets and education to help. I'm looking forward to speaking with her again.”

“Karen is a wonderful therapist. I trust her to be able to tell her everything that is going on in my life because she truly listens. I have a bad habit of self sabotaging by trying to skip sessions or go extended period without them and I truly notice a difference in my mental health after talking with her regularly vs trying to skip sessions.”

“I think that she is caring, competent, and very understanding. She is easy to talk to and does not pass judgment.”

“She’s great!”

“Karen is the best therapist I could have asked for! I am going through so much right now something that most people would not be sympathetic towards. I have never once felt judged by her. She offers me insight that has helped me through my situation and even more than that she listens to me and really connects with me.”

“Karen is the best! I’ve been meeting with her for a few months and have been so happy with the results. I can tell a big difference between where I started and where I’m at now with my anxiety. She’s so kind and attentive and has provided great exercises and resources to help me out. I’m so thankful for her and I highly recommend her!”

“Karen is prompt, compassionate and professional, I would highly recommend her.”

“My therapist is very friendly, knowledgeable, and understanding. I can always depend on her to truly listen and if I have any problems between sessions she always responds to my messages in a timely manner. I couldn't ask for a better therapist or online therapy experience.”

“Ever since I met MS. Slaton she is professional, kind, nice, and extremely helpful. She is the person you NEED to meet and talk thing through. I would recommend her to a friend!”

“I am working through effects of early childhood sexual trauma, addiction, anxiety & depression, and current marriage & teen family issues. Karen has been 100% supportive, is knowledgeable from experience & through her expertise, but most of all she cares. She also offers many effective resources to help with different needs and situations.”

“She is simply the best she has helped me pick up on things that I wouldn’t have picked up on my own and never judges me. She feels more like a friend than a therapist to me and I look forward to talking to her every week.”

“Karen is great!”

“She was very kind and listened to me in my time of need.”
