About Karina

Karina Flores is an LCSW with more than 10 years of experience helping people through major life changes and everyday struggles. She works with adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, or a general sense of feeling stuck. She speaks English and Spanish and practices in Florida.

Karina takes a compassionate and collaborative approach. She invites honest conversation and listens without judgment. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and the pace that feels right for them.

She draws on evidence-based methods to help people understand patterns, build coping skills, and strengthen relationships. Practical tools and clear steps are used alongside discussion so clients leave with things to try between sessions.

Her work often centers on concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, burnout and compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She also supports people coping with abandonment, chronic health challenges, communication problems, and life transitions.

Karina’s aim is to help clients name what’s not working and discover realistic options for moving forward. She focuses on helping people feel more grounded and confident so they can take next steps in their daily life.

How these approaches guide online work

Karina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. CBT often focuses on small, practical experiments and coping skills that can reduce anxiety and improve mood.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify strengths and quick steps toward change. This method emphasizes what is already working and builds short-term goals clients can try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Karina will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past, then pick or combine methods that fit. That collaborative process aims to make sessions feel useful from the start.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with Karina about scheduling and how sessions can be adjusted to match your routine and goals.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
