Getting to know Karen Bruecken

I’m Karen. No, no... not that kind of Karen who wants to speak to the manager. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a graduate of Liberty University with a Master’s in Professional Counseling. You might also call me a guide in helping those to slow down enough to maybe even learn to laugh at themselves. I utilize a variety of techniques found in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Gestalt, Mindfulness-based Therapy, Solution-focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy. I customize these approaches based upon the needs of my clients to help with mood management, anxiety reduction, developing social skills, adjustment issues, and processing trauma, including religious, familial, individual, sexual, and more. When practiced regularly, these techniques aid in discovering freedom from self-criticizing thoughts and reveal a new empowerment to apply to everyday life. Let’s get started! And by the way, laughter often finds its way into our sessions.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I am blessed to be able to come alongside teenagers, adolescents (both guys and gals to age 22) as well as women who are struggling with issues of anxiety and fear and help them to discover their root cause and experience clarity and confidence in moving forward. I love helping people discover or renew their passion in life by breaking down invisible prisons that keep them captive due to self-limiting thoughts and behaviors.
