About Karen
Karen Lopez-Feliciano is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, ADHD, trauma and related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and she practices in Florida.
She began her counseling career after working at the Department of Children and Families in New York. That role led her to earn a master’s degree in counseling and to focus on helping people reach practical goals. Early work included mood disorders, substance abuse, conduct issues, and family conflict. Over time she worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings with adults, gaining broad experience in mental health and substance misuse.
Her approach is straightforward and problem-focused. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find reasons to change and Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete, short-term goals.
Karen emphasizes working together to change thoughts and behaviors through steady, practical steps. She invites clients who are willing to engage in the process and try new strategies. Her bilingual skills in Spanish and English are part of how she connects with more people in her community.

Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Karen commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and change the behaviors that keep problems like anger and anxiety active. CBT sessions tend to include clear steps and practice tasks to try between meetings.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to boost a person’s own reasons for change. That approach focuses on listening, exploring ambivalence, and supporting commitment to specific goals. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set short-term, achievable objectives and notice progress quickly.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods line up with their goals and preferences. That may mean mixing strategies or focusing on one approach at first and adjusting as work progresses.
The biography does not list which online formats are offered, so confirm session options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when useful, and let people join without travel time. It can also allow for different ways of working, such as focusing on skill practice, homework review, or motivational conversations, depending on the client’s needs and preferences.
