About Karen
Karen Egertson is a licensed marriage and family therapist in California with 17 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns while also helping people build motivation, self esteem, and confidence. She meets people where they are and supports them as they take the first steps toward change.
Her work begins by listening to each person’s story and identifying strengths they already have. She frames clients as the expert on their lives and offers practical ways to tackle problems. Sessions are collaborative and geared toward real-world progress rather than abstract labels.
Over the years she has helped people manage grief, anger, career transitions, bipolar and depression symptoms, and the strain that comes with caregiving and compassion fatigue. She also offers support around relationship and family concerns and has particular experience with first responder issues.
Karen draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, anxiety, and coping skills. She helps people build tools for emotional regulation, increase self confidence, and improve communication. Her aim is to make therapy useful and workable for daily life.
She practices in California as an LMFT, and sessions are conducted in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability.
