Karey Thompson, LISW

Karey Thompson is an LISW practicing in Ohio who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and midlife transitions. She also supports individuals dealing with self-esteem concerns and life changes that feel overwhelming. Her approach is straightforward and respectful, focused on practical steps people can use between sessions.

With 16 years of experience, Karey blends talk-based work with attention to bodily experience. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. She also draws on client-centered and existential perspectives to help people find meaning and make choices that fit their values.

Karey spent many years in community mental health and has worked with a range of people in individual and group settings. More recently she has experience supporting first responders and members of the Ohio Army National Guard. That background brought repeated opportunities to address stress, grief, and high-pressure work challenges.

She describes therapy as collaborative and tailors conversations to each person's goals. Sessions aim to improve communication, reduce feelings of isolation, and increase day-to-day coping. Karey also integrates mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing when those techniques suit the person's needs.

Karey holds a Master of Social Work and maintains clinical social work practice in Ohio as an LISW. She incorporates gentle body-aware practices from her additional training when clients are interested. To begin, she asks people to share their priorities so she can shape a practical plan together.

Approaches for online support and personal growth

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people notice how early relationships shape current patterns. It can be useful for improving communication, easing fears of abandonment, and building more secure connections. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the client's lead. This approach helps people clarify values, increase self-esteem, and make choices that feel authentic.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Karey will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts pace and tools as trust and clarity grow so therapy matches what the person wants to accomplish.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow a check-in during a break at work. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises and reflective homework between meetings. Talk with the therapist about how to shape sessions that match daily routines and technical comfort levels.
