About Karie
Karie Leduc is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) with nearly two decades of experience. She helps people who feel stuck after painful events, who want clearer thinking, or who need support making life decisions. Her style aims to be direct, collaborative, and steady so people can move forward.
Clients can expect an atmosphere that is warm and non-judgmental yet purposefully focused. Sessions are active and goal-oriented while also making space for emotional discovery.
Background and approach
Karie pays close attention to both words and nonverbal cues to understand what is happening in the moment. She addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and struggles with sleep and eating.
She also supports people navigating job changes, education shifts, parenting challenges, and the ups and downs of mood conditions such as bipolar and ADHD-related difficulties. Karie describes therapy as a process of learning about the different parts of yourself. Together she helps people find what is useful, what might change, and what can be strengthened.
This practical approach aims to remove obstacles to connection and daily functioning. She has worked in community mental health and in independent practice for over nine years and holds a Rhode Island LICSW. Karie offers flexible scheduling and responds to messages throughout the day.
Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, and text messaging to fit different routines and needs.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Many people find benefit from focused, evidence-based techniques that help with thinking patterns and emotional responses. One common approach targets unhelpful thinking and behavior by identifying patterns and practicing different ways of responding; it’s useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Another approach centers on exploring emotions as they happen in the session and noticing how they show up in the body and behavior; this can help with trauma, grief, relationship pain, and long-standing mood challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Karie collaborates with each person to choose and adjust methods based on their goals, life demands, and preferences. She treats therapy as a team process where approaches are tried, reviewed, and changed to fit what the person needs.
Online therapy offers several practical advantages. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction from different places. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow more frequent, lower-intensity touchpoints and fit into busy days or when writing feels easiest. These options make it simpler to schedule care around work, parenting, and travel while keeping a consistent path toward goals.
