About Karey
Karey Thompson is an Ohio licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 16 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem issues, and coping with life changes. Karey also works with abandonment and attachment struggles, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control problems, and grief related to hospice or end-of-life care.
She trained for clinical social work and spent many years in community mental health settings. That background gave her experience with adults in individual and group therapy and with first responders. Over recent years she has worked with members of the Ohio Army National Guard and provided critical incident stress debriefings for emergency personnel.
In sessions she uses approaches rooted in attachment-based and client-centered work, along with existential and mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing. Conversations focus on what matters in daily life and on practical ways to notice and change patterns that cause distress. Sessions often include exploring relationship patterns, boundaries, and how past losses affect present choices.
Karey describes therapy as collaborative. She helps people name priorities and try concrete steps between sessions. Expect straightforward discussion, reflective listening, and gentle guidance toward different ways of coping when old strategies no longer fit.

How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and communication. Online sessions can be a place to notice recurring patterns, practice new ways of relating, and reflect on how past losses affect present choices.Client-centered work centers on open listening and collaborative goal-setting. That approach emphasizes the client's priorities and uses direct conversation to clarify values and next steps, which can fit well into regular video or phone check-ins.
Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which combination of methods to try and adjust those choices over time based on how well they help with daily life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Practical benefits of online appointments include fitting sessions into a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or choosing a shorter check-in when life is busy. Online meetings can make it easier to keep continuity of care during schedule changes, while the focus remains on clear, actionable conversations and experiments to test new ways of coping.
