About Karina
Karina Flores is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 10 years of experience helping adults navigate stressful periods and life changes. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, and parenting concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
She meets people who sometimes know the problem and sometimes only know something needs to change. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. Conversations are direct and collaborative, with attention to everyday demands like work, family, and health.
Karina uses evidence-based methods to help people understand patterns, build coping skills, and improve how they relate to others. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and trauma-focused work when relevant. These tools are used to address things like sleep problems, anger, intimacy issues, and career strain.
Her background includes a decade of practice in Florida, supporting adults through divorce, caregiving stress, chronic illness, grief, and recovery from abuse. She also works with people dealing with ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and challenges tied to aging or neurodiversity.
Practical matters are part of sessions. Conversations often include problem-solving, skill-building, and setting manageable steps to try between meetings. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the platform.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Karina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT sessions tend to focus on practical exercises and plans you can try between meetings.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to clarify what matters most and to support realistic steps toward change. This approach is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about making shifts in work, relationships, or routines.
Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. Karina will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day constraints and together decide which methods to emphasize. That collaboration shapes how sessions are run and which tools are prioritized.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around jobs, caregiving, or medical needs. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or sessions without video for lower bandwidth or less camera time. These practical choices help therapy fit into everyday life.
