I have always been totally fascinated with people and enjoy my role as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have over 20 years experience in this field. I prefer to work with adults or couples. My style is to work with each client to develop plans and strategies to overcome challenges. I want to work with my clients to help them decide what their priorities and goals are and reach them. I have been told that I am frank and direct with clients.
I have extensive experience with LGBT clients, the homeless, couple counseling, pain management. I enjoy woking with people who are in recovery.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Karen Olson. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Karen is a great listener and gives excellent advice. She gets to the point and helps you find solutions which is the best way to help deal with a situation because it nips it in the bud. I would highly recommend Karen especially if you're looking to make progress right away.
