LGBT therapists in Edmond, OK

I am dedicated to creating a safe and supportive space where clients feel seen, heard, and valued. I work with children, adults, and families navigating trauma, anxiety, and family challenges, empowering each client to reclaim their strength, build resilience, and thrive in their everyday lives.

I’m an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist who works with children, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship issues, family conflict, identity concerns, and panic. Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed by emotions, stuck in painful patterns, or unsure how to handle what life is asking of them right now.

My practice is rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), but I tailor my approach to meet each person’s unique needs. Since beginning my career in 2017, I have worked in a variety of settings—including home visits and hospital crisis care—which has deepened my understanding of the challenges individuals and families face. I am committed to providing a safe, flexible, and compassionate environment where you can explore your goals and build resilience.

Do you feel alone or misunderstood, or are you looking for an unbiased person to listen? You’re not alone. My name is Karie Talkington. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor, and I have been working with children, teens, and adults for the past 24 years in various capacities. I help clients and families navigate anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes with compassion. I specialize in autism, ADHD, and trauma. My goal is to help you feel more secure, confident, and connected—to help you live your best life!

If you’re here, chances are you’re carrying a lot—responsibilities, expectations, and maybe a quiet sense that something needs to shift. You don’t have to keep doing it all the hard way.

My approach is practical, supportive, and focused on real-life change. Together, we’ll uncover the strengths you already have and build tools you can actually use—so you feel more confident, less overwhelmed, and more in control of your life.

You won’t just talk about your stress—you’ll learn how to manage it. You’ll leave our work together with a clear plan for self-care, stronger boundaries, and a deeper connection to what truly matters to you. My goal is for you to feel better, yes—but also to live better, with more ease, clarity, and fulfillment.
