Karey Thompson, LISW

Karey Thompson, LISW, helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and life transitions. She focuses on everyday thoughts and habits that shape how people cope. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at small changes that make daily life easier.

She brings 16 years of clinical experience and a background in community mental health. That experience included work with adults, adolescents, and group settings earlier in her career. Karey also spent time supporting first responders and members of the Ohio Army National Guard, which shaped how she responds to stress and crisis.

Karey uses a mix of approaches that fit each person's situation. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at close relationships and patterns. Client-centered work puts the person's goals at the center of sessions. Mindfulness and motivational strategies are used to build steady habits and practical coping skills.

Her style is respectful and collaborative. Conversations and plans are adapted to what a person needs right now. She also brings a holistic view, noting how body awareness and everyday routines interact with thoughts and emotions.

People often come for help with communication problems, blended family challenges, caregiving stress, and issues around trust and commitment. Karey aims to help clients notice small shifts in thinking and behavior that ease tension and improve daily functioning.

How her approaches guide online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns shape everyday thoughts and reactions. It can help when trust, abandonment, or communication problems cause repeated conflicts or anxiety.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and perspective. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients choose the changes they want to make. Mindfulness techniques are often used alongside this to build steady attention and reduce reactive thinking.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they adjust methods as the work progresses to match needs and life demands.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. They can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that suit work breaks, and some people prefer them when camera use is limited. Ask about format details when you schedule so sessions match your routine and technology.
