Karen Baum, LPCC-S, CST

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Ohio working with adults with various mental health difficulties such as anxiety, couples issues, and sex therapy.

My name is Karen Baum. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Ohio and am an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist. I have been working in private practice since 2014 and solely through telehealth for the past five years.

I am proud to have two wonderful grown sons and daughters-in-law. My husband and I have many fur children living with us. My spare time is creating custom pet portraits and donating to pet rescues. I love to create art and help those in need.

I have always been very interested in people and how they think. This has led to a fulfilling career of counseling others. I provide a supportive, relaxed, and safe environment for my clients. I work with couples and individual adults. My certification in Sex Therapy and an abundance of training in other areas has made me well qualified to work with various life difficulties with my clients. I am happy to work with those that are a bit more conservative to those whose lifestyle is out of the norm. LGBTQIA community can feel safe to express their feelings and work on topics from their past or present. Whether a monogamous couple or those involved in polyamory, kink, etc. you can get help here.

Some of the problems that I can help you with are: depressive symptoms, anxiety (one of my speciality areas), panic attacks, phobias, self esteem, cognitive distortions (stinking thinking), IBS and anxiety, desire discrepancy, communication, pain with sex, more sprinkles and less vanilla in your sex life, erectile disfunction, anxiety with sex, porn issues, infidelity, coming out, transitioning, and more.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Text or email to schedule a free 15 minute consult to see if we will be a good fit.
