Hi there. My name is Karman and I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas, working with clients statewide via Telehealth. I earned my undergraduate degree from Texas Christian University and my Master's degree from the University of Texas at Arlington and have worked in a variety of settings, most recently as a Crisis Intervention Counselor for a local school district. As a therapist, I am passionate about creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your life's journey, feelings, and challenges. My goal is that through our work together, you can find the support and tools needed to connect authentically with yourself and the people you love to cultivate the life you deserve.
In our first session together, we'll start by getting to know each other and discuss what brought you to therapy. My approach to therapy is unique to each client. I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities and strategies, customized to your specific situation, aimed at exploring the roots of your emotions and behaviors in order to facilitate change and healing.
I believe in a client-centered, strength based, collaborative approach to counseling. My style is warm, engaging, and direct. I respect the vulnerability it takes to seek therapy and I consider it a great privilege to walk alongside clients in their journey of healing and growth. I look forward to meeting you!
CBT is an effective treatment method for a wide range of mental health concerns. CBT helps clients learn how thoughts, feelings and behaviors influence each other. This approach can help clients learn how to identify and change thought patterns that have a negative impact on behavior and emotions.
Our early relationships and attachment with our caregivers shapes the adults that we become. Attachment based treatment aims to help clients explore how their childhood experiences may affect the ability to form meaningful and healthy bonds as an adult.
Strength-based therapy guides clients toward an examination and retelling of their personal history and challenges with an emphasis on identifying the skills, resourcefulness, and strengths used to navigate and cope with difficult circumstances.
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on learning how subconscious thoughts, feelings and memories are affecting current behavior. This approach helps clients cope with emotional and mental distress as well as gain insight and self-awareness.
