She moved to Northern Virginia in 1977 and received a master's degree in marriage and family therapy from Virginia Tech in 1984.

She worked as a clinical therapist in private practice and as a caseworker and guardian for the Refugee Unaccompanied Minors program. She received a doctorate from Virginia Tech in 1992, with an emphasis on counseling education.

As a professor of marriage and family therapy at Virginia Tech's National Capital Region campus in Falls Church, Dr. Rosen taught graduate-level courses in clinical supervision, received two awards for teaching excellence and was a mentor to graduate students in marriage and family therapy.

She published a number of journal articles, one book and 12 book chapters.

She was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2004 and was unable to continue the teaching career she loved. Named professor emerita in 2005, Dr. Rosen remained as active in the Virginia Tech program as her health would permit and also was a gubernatorial appointee to the Virginia Board of Counseling.

She was a triathlete who completed her third Reston Triathlon in 2003. Her Race for Hope Team, Karen's Crew, has more than 80 members and has raised nearly $20,000 for brain cancer research.

Survivors include her husband of 40 years, Cecil C. Rosen III of Clifton; two sons, Jeffrey Rosen of Fairfax City and Michael Rosen of Oak Hill, Va.; her mother, Mary Hanula of Vineland, N.J.; a brother; and one grandson.
