About Karina

Karina Flores is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience helping adults navigate difficult life moments. She offers steady, practical support for people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, and major life transitions. Karina speaks English and Spanish and practices in Florida.

She meets each person with a calm, nonjudgmental style. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that can be tried between meetings. Karina listens for what’s working and what isn’t, then helps people build coping skills and clearer ways of making decisions.

Her work often centers on improving relationships, managing emotions like anger or grief, and handling changes such as separation or career shifts. She also assists people facing trauma and abuse, chronic health challenges, caregiver strain, or issues related to attention and mood regulation.

Karina blends practical, evidence-informed techniques. She uses approaches that help reframe thinking, set realistic goals, and address painful memories when needed. The result is a plan tailored to a person’s pace, strengths, and priorities.

Reaching out does not require a clear plan or diagnosis. Karina supports people who know what they want to change and those who only notice a general sense of being stuck. To begin, users follow the site’s Start Therapy process and schedule according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Karina uses methods that aim for clear, usable changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviors to change how someone feels. It can help with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and problem-solving for everyday stressors.

Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. It uses curious questions and reflective listening to clarify values and strengthen motivation for steps like improving relationships or addressing health behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and life demands before suggesting a path. Changes are made together, and approaches can shift as needs evolve.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt homework, pacing, and communication to match how someone prefers to work in weekly sessions.
