New clients continue care with this provider

Hey there!! I’m Karen Lanxon, a Licensed Professional Counselor and fellow working mom. As a Christian, mom of three (two young adult sons and a preteen daughter—send prayers! LOL!) and wife to my high school sweetheart, I know how real the juggle is. It can be tough. Overwhelmed. Running on empty. Wondering when you stopped recognizing the woman in the mirror. Fearing that going to counseling may look like a lack of faith, and hesitating to rest because there's always one more thing. Here's the truth: You can love Jesus AND go to therapy. Rest is holy, and it’s okay to say “no” to make space for the things that light you up. If you're ready to find you again, I'd love to help!

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions; you'll be able to share what brought you to therapy and your expectations. I'll also share a little bit more about myself and the approaches I believe may work best for your needs. It will be a collaboration between the both of us. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

With over 20 years of experience working with families in foster care, education, and ministry, I’ve always felt drawn to helping others heal and grow—especially moms. One of my favorite parts of being a counselor is connecting with my clients on a deep and genuine level. I’m known among colleagues as "the laughing therapist" because I believe humor can be a powerful tool for healing. I create an atmosphere of transparency, authenticity, and acceptance, where clients feel safe to share their struggles and victories. Building rapport quickly comes naturally to me because I show up as my true self—open, caring, and ready to listen without judgment. My goal is always to make my clients feel seen, valued, and empowered to take the next step in their journey. Whether we’re laughing together or processing through tough emotions, I want every session to be a space where clients can breathe, reflect, and grow.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My clients are a lot like you. They’re smart, supportive, driven women who care deeply about their families and want to build a meaningful life—but somewhere along the way, it got hard. By the time they reach out, they’re completely drained. Pulled in a dozen directions, their minds never stop racing. Mornings feel rushed before the day even begins, and the never-ending to-do list just adds to the overwhelm. They’re going through the motions, feeling like they’re barely hanging on. They feel stretched thin—torn between being present at work and being present at home. At work, they worry about their kids. At home, their mind is back on work, or the laundry, or the unread emails. They’re snapping more than they’d like, feeling distant from their spouse, and not nearly as connected to God as they want to be. There’s a constant voice whispering, “You should be doing more.” They look in the mirror and barely recognize themselves. They’ve given so much to their roles as mom, wife, and professional, that there’s nothing left for them. When a rare free moment comes, they feel lost—or worse, guilty for enjoying it. The lack of energy and clarity starts to take a toll on everything. They feel like they’re failing—in motherhood, in marriage, in their walk with God, and in the career they once dreamed of. But here’s what I want you to know: it doesn’t have to stay this way. You can find a rhythm that brings life instead of draining it. You can be a loving, present mom and a woman who honors her OWN dreams and needs. If you’re ready to reclaim balance, protect your peace, and rediscover what lights you up, I’m here to walk with you. You’re not alone anymore.
