Getting to know Karen Fullen

Hi there, I'm Karen! My name is Karen Fullen. I am an LCSW Clinical Social Worker with a Master's in Social Work from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. I have 43 years of experience in Social Work, primarily focused on children and family issues and challenges. My goals include assisting individuals and families in identifying their challenges and finding their paths to healthy outcomes. My specialties include anxiety, marriage, parenting, and depression. My approach I utilize several therapeutic approaches: Dialectical, Narrative, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Grief Therapy, Family, and Client-Centered Therapy. My focus The clients I have most worked with are those overwhelmed by their current situations and struggling with their feelings and behaviors. I believe people are doing the best they can with the resources they have. My goal is to help people recognize how their behaviors and thinking might change to better cope with challenges in a healthy and satisfying manner. My communication style I create a warm and accepting environment for clients. I do not judge or direct people to change. Rather, I work with them to assist in discovering their own healthy path. My journey to mental healthcare I believe in the goodness of people and their basic desire to be happy and in healthy relationships. I became a therapist because I enjoy helping people find their strengths and identify thoughts and feelings that might get in their way. My goals for you I ask people what they desire to be different. Goals are best achieved when they belong to the client. We explore what changes they have made in the past, which were successful, and which were not. My first session with you During the first sessions, we will provide introductions; discuss agency services; review and sign necessary documents; begin to assess what brought you to seek services; and preliminarily determine your desired change.
