Karey Thompson

Karey Thompson is an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 16 years of experience. She helps people who are stressed, anxious, or facing relationship and family strain. Karey also works with those coping with life changes and struggles with self-esteem.

She uses approaches that focus on attachment, client-centered conversation, existential questions, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. In sessions she listens for patterns in relationships and for moments that point to what matters most to the client. Conversations are aimed at practical shifts in thinking and behavior rather than quick fixes.

Karey’s background includes long clinical experience in community mental health and work with first responder populations. That history informs how she supports people dealing with high-stress jobs, grief, or transitions. She pays attention to how past losses and attachment wounds affect current choices.

Her way of working blends reflective talk with exercises to build awareness and small, doable changes. Mindfulness tools and motivational interviewing help people clarify values and take steps that align with those values. Existential themes come up when clients question purpose after major life changes.

People who come because they feel stuck often leave with clearer options and a plan for next steps. Karey encourages steady practice - small habits that make daily life feel more manageable. She asks clients to try ideas between sessions and reviews what helps and what does not.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and choices. It helps when worry, abandonment fears, or mistrust in relationships gets in the way of making a clear next step.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and perspective. The therapist listens and reflects to help people find their own answers, which can help with doubts about work, relationships, or direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust those choices as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten check-ins, avoid travel time, or choose sessions that do not require being on camera. Licensed professionals can use different formats to reduce scheduling friction and keep progress steady without asking for big life changes.
