About Karen
Karen Lopez-Feliciano is a Florida LMHC with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common household and life stresses such as anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, parenting strain, and relationship or family conflict. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Karen began her career at the Department of Children and Families in New York and later completed a master’s degree in counseling. Early work focused on mood disorders, substance use, conduct issues, and family conflict. Over the years she has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings with adults managing emotional and behavioral challenges.
Her approach is practical and straightforward. She uses techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work to help people change thoughts and behaviors. In sessions she problem-solves, identifies small steps, and tracks progress over time.
Karen helps people cope with ADHD symptoms, anger, compulsive behaviors, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports those dealing with sleep or eating disturbances related to stress. Her bilingual ability allows her to work with Spanish-speaking adults as well as English speakers.
People who come to her typically want clear tools and honest conversation about next steps. She asks for openness and willingness to try new strategies. To begin, visitors follow the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Karen draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try specific behavior changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and for managing compulsive behaviors. Motivational interviewing is another tool she uses to help people find internal reasons to change and to build readiness for steps like reducing substance use or breaking old habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client's needs, and adjust the plan based on what is working. That collaboration helps pin down practical next steps rather than relying on a single method from the start.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time so sessions occur between obligations. Licensed professionals often combine structured CBT exercises with brief motivational conversations in remote sessions to keep progress moving forward.
