About Karen
Karen Medlock is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas and Louisiana with 27 years of clinical experience. She holds two master's degrees and has worked across a wide age range. Her practice addresses stress, anxiety, grief, intimacy-related concerns, parenting, depression, addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, and blended family issues among other areas.
She previously taught K–12 and holds teaching certifications from Michigan, experience she says informed her work with adolescents. That classroom background also influenced her group work and psychoeducational approach. She ran sexual offender treatment programs in a correctional setting, which contributed to her work with addiction, group facilitation, and structured psychosocial classes.
Her clinical work includes substantial experience with trauma and post-traumatic stress, including severe panic attacks. She has also focused on grief and loss over many years. Those experiences shape how she approaches emotional crises and long-term recovery.
Karen uses several therapeutic methods to guide sessions, including attachment-based approaches, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), emotionally focused therapy (EFT), and existential perspectives. She describes a laid-back style and adapts to where each person is in their life.
She works with people across diverse cultural backgrounds and sexual orientations, and she notes experience with a wide age span. Practical skills, classroom-derived teaching techniques, and group-based interventions appear in her toolkit. For next steps, the site asks visitors to use the online therapy options and matching process to schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current trust and closeness. Online sessions can explore those interaction patterns and practical steps to change how people relate to partners or children.Client-centered therapy prioritizes the person's perspective and uses active listening to help them find their own solutions. In remote sessions this looks like reflective conversations that help clarify values and next steps.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses concrete exercises to shift them. That approach is useful for anxiety, panic, sleep, and mood concerns and adapts well to work done between sessions.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - shorter check-ins, sessions outside commuting hours, or phone conversations when bandwidth or quiet time is limited. Licensed professionals can use these flexible arrangements to keep momentum while people handle parenting, work, and blended household demands.
