Karen Williams
Hi! My name is Karen Williams. I've been a therapist for over 20 years, and have a wide range of experience helping others overcome issues with relationships, divorce, empty nests, career and school challenges, emotional overeating, self-esteem issues, grief and loss issues, and more. I hold a Master's Degree in Community Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix, graduating in 1999. I am certified by the National Board of Certified Counselors, and hold a Distance Counseling Certification through the NBCC. My experience as a therapist includes being in private practice and working in clinics, hospitals, employee assistance programs, and even an emergency room dedicated solely to mental health patients. My clients would probably say that I'm warm and welcoming, down to earth, and easy to talk with. Knowing that it can be hard to reach out for help, I try to make counseling a positive experience for my clients. I respect my clients from a mind-body-spirit perspective, trusting that they know what they need. My role and my goal is to help my clients get what they need so they feel a greater sense of well-being and a greater sense of being well. I do this through a variety of treatment approaches including Solution-Focused, Person-Centered and Cognitive-Behavioral modalities. No matter what approach I use, I am focused on you - the client - your needs and your desires for a greater connection to happiness, self-empowerment and success. I look forward to helping you get more out of life!

David Smith
Hello and thank you for considering me as your therapist - I am licensed as an LMHC in Iowa and have 25 years of professional work experience. My approach is one in which I recognize the significance (and courage) of your decision to consider counseling and together, we will seek out solutions that build upon your strengths. I would describe myself as accessible, empathetic, pragmatic, and action-oriented. Therapy by design will challenge anyone to step outside their comfort zone and attempt to reshape their life. Typically, we all seek out similar things in life...joy, peace, connectivity, etc...but often, we feel stuck in reaching our life goals. It is my role to assist you with assessing the issues that are preventing you from living your best life and further assisting you with seeking out alternative ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving in order to bring about that change into your life. In professional terms, I would describe myself as "eclectic" in my therapy approach but I tend to emphasize solution-focused, cognitive/behavioral, motivational, and family systems brands of therapy in approaching my work with others. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, anger management, & depression. I am equally comfortable working with individuals and couples. It is my belief that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. Finally, therapy is a two-way street as I believe it is advisable to do a "check in" with clients as to how I am doing in the work we are engaged in and receive feedback. The process of therapy is a joint effort and it is vital that you as a client (or couple) not only feel heard but that therapy is progressing and assisting you in making change in your life. Thank you.

- Counseling with therapists: $100-300

How do I know if online counseling is right for my family in Logan?

Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist worth it?
Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. An experienced clinician can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based licensed clinician in Logan, Iowa can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.
Logan has many clinicians who practice person or client-centered individual therapy in-person and through online sessions to assist clients in their healing journey. If you opt into online therapy, you might also be able to meet with providers all over the United States and change easily at any time. Many people struggling with anxiety and depression, substance abuse, body image issues, and more find therapists that are a good fit for them, feel supported, and gain further insight into their lives through internet-based therapy.
Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?
The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
