Karen Peck, LPC - Therapist in Oklahoma

About Karen

Karen Peck is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with 18 years of experience. She has worked with people facing substance use issues, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. Karen emphasizes practical steps and builds on each person’s strengths.

She speaks plainly and invites straightforward conversation about what is most pressing. She frames clients as the experts on their own stories. The role she takes is to support and empower people as they make changes.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on realistic strategies that fit daily life rather than long abstract talks. Karen has a background in treating post-traumatic stress and addiction, and she brings that experience into how she plans care. Her methods include cognitive behavioral techniques, skills from dialectical behavior therapy, and trauma-focused approaches when appropriate.

She also uses motivational interviewing to help with change around substance use. In the room she listens for strengths and small steps that can build momentum. She helps people practice new skills, try different ways to cope, and track what works.

Her style is direct but supportive, aiming to make progress understandable and achievable. People who want clear guidance and practical tools tend to do well with her style. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and needs.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Karen commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and teaches simple exercises to change thinking and behavior patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on understanding and reducing the impact of past traumatic events, with steps to process memories and build coping skills for post-traumatic stress.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills when stronger emotion regulation tools are needed. DBT offers practical skills for handling intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness. These approaches are presented in clear steps and practiced together with the client so the best fit emerges naturally.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a person’s goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback and shift focus as needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. These formats make it easier to keep appointments, try short check-ins, or use written exercises between sessions. The combination of clear, skill-based methods and flexible online options supports steady progress while fitting around daily responsibilities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
