Kareem Spence

Kareem Spence is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey who focuses on anger and related concerns. He helps people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. His approach aims to build useful skills and clear goals so clients can handle day-to-day stress more easily.

Kareem works with adults and teens and offers therapy through telehealth. He uses practical steps to address things like self-esteem, workplace stress, and relationship communication. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs, with an eye toward doable changes rather than abstract talk.

He also supports people dealing with career transitions, money worries, and questions about life purpose. Conversations often include setting short-term goals and practicing new ways to respond when emotions run high. This can help reduce impulsive reactions and improve decision making.

Kareem pays attention to fatherhood issues, forgiveness, and feelings of emptiness, helping people name what matters and create a plan. He encourages self-compassion and clearer communication in daily life.

With 11 years of experience, Kareem emphasizes straightforward techniques and ongoing feedback. He asks about practical barriers and adjusts strategies to fit a client's routine and responsibilities. The initial steps include mapping goals and agreeing on small, measurable actions to try between sessions.

Evidence-based approaches for online work

Many of Kareem's methods focus on practical, evidence-based techniques that help people manage strong emotions and improve everyday functioning. One common approach uses skills training to teach ways to notice triggers, pause before reacting, and choose a different response; this helps with anger and impulsivity by turning reactions into deliberate actions. Another approach emphasizes goal setting and behavioral experiments where clients try small changes between sessions to test what works; this helps with career transitions, self-esteem, and feelings of emptiness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kareem collaborates with each person to match strategies to their goals, needs, and day-to-day life. He adjusts techniques over time based on what helps and what feels realistic to practice.

If you want online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking. The practical benefits often include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to have a shorter check-in during a work break or to keep continuity when life gets busy, while still allowing focused skill-building and goal review.
