Karen Hanson, LCSW

Karen Hanson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Kentucky with 26 years of experience. She works with adults who face depression, anxiety, stress, addiction, relationship strain, and trauma and abuse. Karen’s background includes long-term work supporting people through major life changes and complicated family situations, including blended family issues.

She explains concerns plainly and listens for what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on practical steps that reduce day-to-day stress and improve communication. Karen helps people name patterns, try new ways of responding, and notice what does and does not work in relationships.

Her practice often involves addressing attachment worries, codependency, abandonment, parenting transitions, and the strain caregivers feel. She also supports people coping with substance use, domestic violence aftermath, divorce and separation, and issues that follow traumatic events. The work leans toward concrete skills and clearer decision-making rather than abstract theory.

People can expect direct, respectful conversations about behavior, choices, and relationships. She helps with problem-solving, planning next steps, and managing difficult emotions between sessions. Karen draws on her decades of clinical experience to guide those conversations.

For someone in a new household or stepfamily, she offers help sorting roles, setting boundaries, and improving communication with partners and co-parents. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and formats to match their needs.
