About Karen
Karen Camese is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 20 years of experience. She helps people facing addiction, grief, family conflict, and changes that feel overwhelming. Her work often focuses on rebuilding self esteem and finding clearer direction after hard experiences.
She uses straightforward, practical sessions to untangle painful patterns and build everyday coping skills. Karen listens for each person's history and values, then tailors steps that fit their life. Clients can expect a calm, steady presence and concrete tools they can try between sessions.
Her background includes long-term work with people affected by trauma, domestic violence, and substance use. She also supports those caring for others, people facing aging or end-of-life concerns, and people dealing with isolation or midlife shifts. This range informs how she meets each person where they are.
Therapeutically she draws on approaches that focus on relationships, emotions, and behavior change. These methods are used together to address intimacy issues, family of origin patterns, and problems with sleep, motivation, or boundaries. The aim is to increase self-love, reduce shame, and strengthen everyday resilience.
For someone worried about taking the next step, Karen offers a listening space and a clear plan. She helps people set realistic goals, practice new ways of communicating, and reconnect to what matters most. Her work centers on steady progress rather than quick fixes.
