01About Karen
Karen Jacobs-White is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings 40 years of clinical experience to her work in Georgia. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, address addictions, cope with anger, and navigate depression. Karen aims for an honest, respectful space where clients can speak openly about difficult feelings.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations identify what matters most to the client and then focus on steps that help day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Karen emphasizes understanding what people are trying to hold together and looks for small, doable changes that reduce strain. Her approach combines proven methods with steady support. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral work to spot unhelpful thinking and from acceptance-based work to build tolerance for tough feelings.
Emotion-focused ideas help people name and respond to emotions rather than avoid them. Many people come with complicated, overlapping concerns such as chronic pain, caregiver stress, codependency, or relationship patterns rooted in family of origin. Karen helps sort these threads and set practical goals for coping and problem solving.
She also addresses issues like grief, guilt, and isolation with direct, compassionate attention. Sessions are paced to match each person’s needs. Karen supports people through life changes, separation and divorce, and recovery from substance problems.
The goal is clearer choices and a steadier sense of direction.

04Online support
Approach and access: online therapy with practical methods
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and making changes that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect behavior and mood and teaches concrete techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and coping patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people tune into emotions, name them, and use that awareness to improve how they respond to stress and relationships.Finding the right fit is part of the work. Karen will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest approaches that match those needs. That choice is collaborative and may combine elements from different methods to address what shows up in sessions.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues for a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing processing between sessions, or when writing feels more accessible. These options make it easier to schedule consistent work around daily life and obligations.
