About Karina
Karina Flores is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of experience helping adults through life’s hard spots. She supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, or big life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and practices in Florida.
Karina welcomes people who know why they want help and those who just feel stuck. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk plainly about what’s happening.
How Karina works
Sessions focus on small, practical steps that build confidence and better day-to-day coping. Her work draws on evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. She uses these approaches to help clients notice unhelpful patterns, set realistic goals, and try new ways of responding to stress and relationships.
Karina’s style is collaborative. She listens first, then helps people figure out what might change and how to try it. Progress often comes from doing manageable experiments between sessions and reflecting on what helps.
She emphasizes pacing therapy to each person’s comfort and goals. Reaching out does not require having everything figured out. To begin, a prospective client selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online work
Karina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that often reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT is practical and focuses on skills you can practice between sessions.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their own goals and find internal reasons to change. This approach is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Karina will talk with a client about their needs, goals, and preferences and then choose or combine methods together. She sees therapy as a collaborative effort where adjustments are made over time based on what helps.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life, reducing travel time, and making it easier to schedule shorter check-ins when needed. The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. The focus is on making therapy manageable and relevant to daily routines rather than promising a specific service format.
