About Karen
Karen Marconi is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 13 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, and issues related to LGBT identity. Karen also supports people facing low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, bipolar mood patterns, ADHD, and life transitions.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and asks practical questions to clarify what they want to change. Sessions typically focus on identifying triggers, building clearer communication, and finding small, doable steps to reduce reactivity and build more control over behavior.
Karen uses techniques from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. She also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused work to lift motivation and set short-term goals. Narrative therapy is used when re-framing a person’s story helps reduce shame and blame.
In session she listens for patterns that feed anger and resentment, such as control issues, jealousy, or codependency. Then she helps break those patterns with concrete strategies like thought records, behavioral experiments, and brief goal planning. Practical skills and repeated practice are a core part of the work.
People looking to start are asked to complete a short questionnaire before booking. That helps focus the first session on what matters most. Meetings are held from Florida and conducted in English.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people clarify their goals and make choices that fit their values. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which is useful for anger, anxiety, and mood issues.Choosing the best approach is collaborative. Karen will review your goals, try a method, and adjust based on what helps. That shared problem-solving helps keep sessions focused on concrete changes rather than lengthy theory.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings are delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, and reduce travel time. It also lets clients work on skills like breathing exercises, in-the-moment thought checks, and behavior experiments between sessions. Therapists and licensed professionals often combine talk-based techniques with practical homework so learning carries into daily life.
