Karen Hill-Davis, LCSW

Karen Hill-Davis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience. She uses an open, supportive style to help people regain perspective and a sense of control when life feels overwhelming.

Her work centers on cognitive behavioral and solution-focused approaches. She starts by meeting people where they are, listening to how they describe the problem, and clarifying practical goals together. Sessions emphasize small, concrete steps that build on a person’s existing strengths.

Karen has specific experience helping people adjust to health-related life changes, aging matters, life care planning, and bereavement. She also addresses stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship and family issues, workplace strain, and compassion fatigue.

In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, develop workable tools, and test new ways of coping. The aim is to support changes that fit daily life rather than rely on large, sudden shifts. This makes the work feel doable for people juggling care responsibilities or medical concerns.

Her practice pays attention to multicultural concerns and the effects of prejudice and discrimination. She also supports people facing caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life issues, and cancer-related emotional challenges. The tone is practical and respectful, with a focus on what can change now.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience without judgment. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort out emotions and clarify values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical skills to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying small, achievable steps toward clear goals. It is useful for people who want brief, action-oriented work that fits into a busy life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. This decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking, since specific online formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a day - for example, shorter check-ins during a work break or avoiding travel time. They can also allow people to continue care while managing health appointments or caregiving duties. Licensed professionals typically adapt exercises, homework, and practical tools so they work in an online setting rather than an office.
