About Karen
Karen Ann Marshalleck is an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in California with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family matters, depression, and the challenges that come with life changes. Sessions are presented plainly and directly to help people address what’s happening at home and at work.
She uses straightforward conversations and practical techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her approach, focusing on how thoughts, behaviors, and emotions connect. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and identify what works now.
In sessions she helps people talk through relationship strain, parenting stress, and ongoing mood concerns. She also supports work-related stress, struggles with body image, and coping with chronic illness or pain. Multicultural issues, prejudice and discrimination, and women's issues are additional areas she watches for and addresses when relevant.
Her style is direct and collaborative. She helps clients name specific problems, try practical steps between sessions, and check what made a difference. This aims to make therapy feel manageable when life feels crowded or overwhelming.

How sessions work
How her approaches shape online work
Karen Ann Marshalleck commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings, and it often includes simple exercises to try between sessions to reduce anxiety or low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical changes and clear short-term goals to move past a stuck point, which can be useful for relationship tensions and coping with life changes.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels workable. Together they decide whether to focus on changing unhelpful thought patterns, setting clear small goals, or combining techniques from both approaches.
