About Karina
Karina Flores is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, anger, parenting strain, grief, trauma, and other life transitions. She speaks English and Spanish and helps people who want practical ways to manage feelings and improve daily life.
Karina meets people where they are and starts by listening to what feels most urgent. She helps identify patterns that keep problems repeating and supports clients in trying small changes. Sessions focus on clear goals and step-by-step skills rather than long theory discussions.
Her work draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. That means she uses structured tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts, brief strategies to set and reach goals, and trauma-informed steps when past hurt keeps affecting the present. Expect short homework or practice between sessions to build skills outside therapy.
Karina pays attention to both current stressors and past experiences that may be influencing present reactions. She helps people practice communication, manage anger and frustration, build sleep routines, and cope with grief or life changes. Conversations are practical and aimed at day-to-day improvements.
People considering therapy are guided through a simple start-up process: answer a brief questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time. International clients are not accepted at this time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Karina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in straightforward ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce stress or anger. Motivational Interviewing helps clarify what the client wants to change and builds practical steps to get there.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means checking in about what helps, adjusting strategies, and agreeing on short-term steps to try between meetings.
The site’s sign-up process is used to begin work: complete a short questionnaire and schedule your first session. The therapist’s session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so sessions work around work or caregiving demands. Licensed professionals can use brief homework, communication practice, and stepwise coping tools that translate well to remote meetings.
