About Karmen
Karmen Andrews is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship or self-esteem struggles. She works with adults on practical steps to feel steadier and more in control. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at making each visit feel manageable and useful.
Karmen uses narrative ideas to help people tell and retell their stories so painful experiences feel less defining.
Background and approach
She also draws on client-centered methods that put the person's goals first, and cognitive behavioral ideas to spot and change unhelpful thought patterns. These tools are applied in straightforward ways during sessions. Her experience includes work with trauma and abuse, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms, and challenges like parenting strain, sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue.
She also addresses substance use and addictions along with issues around intimacy, commitment, and communication. Karmen includes concerns about body image, attachment, and chronic illness when they appear in a person's story. Sessions focus on small, practical changes and on building skills people can use between meetings.
Conversations may include identifying patterns that keep problems going, trying new behaviors, and practicing mindfulness to ease stress. The goal is measurable progress rather than abstract insight alone. Karmen offers therapy by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to suit different schedules.
She works in English and practices in Oklahoma as an LPC. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

Online session options
How narrative and practical approaches work online
Evidence-based narrative work helps people separate themselves from painful stories by retelling them with new perspective; this can reduce shame and open pathways to change. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the person's goals so sessions focus on what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at thoughts and behaviors and teach simple exercises people can use between sessions to reduce anxiety and lift mood.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust those methods as progress is made, keeping the work collaborative and practical.
Online therapy offers several flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to share thoughts between sessions or for people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep continuity when schedules change.
