Karen Samuda

MSW, LCSW

When you are living with the weight of unresolved trauma, heavy grief, or constant anxiety, it can feel difficult to know where to turn.

My name is Karen Samuda, LCSW, and I support adults and young adults navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, substance use, grief, marriage and relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I believe our thoughts shape how we view ourselves and the world around us. In a safe, supportive space, I focus on helping you reframe unhelpful thought patterns, release emotional blocks, and build lasting self-confidence.

My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and strength-based tools with holistic practices. Depending on your personal goals, our work together may integrate mindfulness, breathwork, chakra work, and affirmations to support your emotional healing, personal alignment, and overall growth.

How I Can Help

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns to help manage anxiety, depression, and daily stress.
  • Trauma & PTSD Care: Safely process difficult past experiences and unhelpful beliefs using evidence-based Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT).
  • Marriage & Couples Counseling: Navigate relationship challenges, improve communication, and rebuild connection with your partner.
  • Navigating Grief & Transitions: Receive steady, compassionate support as you adapt to loss or major life changes.
  • In-Person & Virtual Care: I provide flexible care options to fit your lifestyle, offering in-person sessions in Fort Myers as well as telehealth options for clients throughout the state of Florida.

Taking the first step toward support can feel overwhelming, but healing is well within reach. Reach out today to connect and learn how we can work together.
