Karen Murphree, LCSW

Karen Murphree, LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), brings three decades of clinical experience to a practice grounded in a whole-person, strength-based perspective. She blends established evidence-based therapies with creative, somatic, and lifestyle-oriented techniques to address a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues.

Murphree draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, attachment-focused work, and client-centered methods, then integrates those with expressive tools like visual imagery, music, art, guided meditations, movement, rituals, and attention to sleep and nutrition. This eclectic mix is intended to help people identify limiting beliefs and patterns while engaging their natural capacity for growth and healing.

She works primarily with adults and maintains an affirming stance toward diverse identities and relationship styles, including LGBTQIA2S+ people, neurodivergent individuals, and those who identify with polyamory or kink communities. Murphree often provides educational resources to supplement sessions and emphasizes collaboration, curiosity, and compassionate inquiry as ways to explore meaningful change. Her aim is to support each person in discovering approaches that resonate with their values and lived experience.
