Karen Cash , LCSW

Karen Cash is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of clinical experience who works with individuals and couples to address relationship concerns and the everyday challenges of life. As an LCSW she is trained in assessment, therapy, and helping clients build practical coping skills; she applies that training to issues that often intensify in today’s environment, including stress, anxiety, and depression.

She has extensive experience supporting people who have endured trauma, including childhood abuse, sexual abuse, domestic violence, and sexual assault. Karen integrates trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and skill-building strategies to help clients reduce symptoms, develop coping tools, and regain a sense of agency after traumatic events.

Grief work is another central part of her practice, offering support for losses such as the death of a loved one, job loss, changes in health, relationship endings, or the loss of a pet. Treatment is individualized and emphasizes understanding and reducing the impact of those losses. Karen values a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust and clear communication, and she strives to listen empathetically while partnering with clients to help their lives evolve in the directions they hope to achieve.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT is an approach that helps people clarify their values and take committed action toward them while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and challenges where avoidance has become a barrier to living fully.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns formed early in life and how they shape current connections. This approach helps clients explore attachment dynamics, improve communication, and build more secure and satisfying relationships.

Karen works collaboratively with clients to determine which approach or combination of approaches will best meet their goals and preferences. Deciding on a therapeutic path is part of the process - she partners with clients to tailor treatment to their needs and to adjust methods as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing licensed professionals and therapists to meet clients where they are. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access care from different locations, and maintain continuity of support when in-person meetings are difficult.
