Karie Leduc , LICSW

Karie Leduc brings a thoughtful, emotionally attuned approach to psychotherapy, helping people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about life changes. She works collaboratively with clients to clarify difficult patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving, and to identify practical steps toward a more fulfilling personal and professional life. Karie emphasizes a non-judgmental atmosphere where exploration and self-discovery are central - clients are invited to notice both vulnerabilities and strengths as they learn which parts of their experience support growth and which may need to be adjusted.

Her practice balances support with challenge; she participates actively in sessions, sets clear therapeutic goals with clients, and follows a path toward measurable change. Emotion and affect are central to her work, and she pays close attention to non-verbal communication as well as verbal expression. Karie addresses a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, mood and personality disorders, significant life transitions such as education, employment, marriage and divorce, and loss and grief.

She has been a licensed clinical social worker for the State of Rhode Island for 18 years and has experience in community mental health as well as over nine years in private practice. Karie maintains a flexible schedule, checks and responds to messages several times a day throughout the day, seven days a week, and offers live chat, phone sessions, and video sessions that can be scheduled as needed. LICSW indicates she is a licensed clinical social worker.

Emotion-focused and goal-oriented care delivered online

Karie Leduc uses evidence-based techniques that attend closely to emotions and everyday functioning. One approach centers on exploring and naming emotions in the moment - this helps clients understand how feelings influence decisions and relationships and can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Another approach emphasizes collaborative, goal-oriented work - together with the client she sets clear therapeutic goals, practices new ways of coping, and tracks progress toward meaningful change. A third focus is building practical coping strategies for stress, life transitions, and everyday challenges, teaching skills that support resilience and improved day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Karie works collaboratively with each person to determine which techniques best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting methods over time as the work evolves. Clients are invited to participate actively in shaping their care.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and situations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access consistent support while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
