About Karina
Karina Flores is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 10 years of experience. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, parenting strain, grief, trauma, and life changes. Karina offers support in both English and Spanish.
She meets adults who sometimes know the cause of their distress and sometimes only sense that something needs to shift. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now, building practical coping skills, and clarifying realistic next steps. The work is collaborative and paced to what the person can manage.
Karina uses evidence-based approaches to help people strengthen coping, improve communication, and gain more confidence in daily life. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thinking. Motivational interviewing is used to explore readiness for change and set workable goals.
When trauma or difficult life events are present, she incorporates approaches that address those experiences and their effects on day-to-day functioning. She also offers solution-focused work for people who want short-term, practical strategies to reduce stress and get moving again.
Clients are invited to look at patterns that keep problems repeating and to experiment with small, manageable changes. Starting therapy involves a brief questionnaire and a first session to set priorities and agree on next steps. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Karina commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new, more effective ways of thinking and acting. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress. Motivational interviewing focuses on a persons own reasons for change and helps build motivation and small, practical steps toward goals.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to identify goals, try an approach, and adjust methods based on how things are going. The first session is used to set priorities and agree on a plan that fits the person's needs and pace.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In practice, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or offering ways to continue work between appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and motivational techniques to brief focused sessions or longer therapeutic work depending on a client's goals.
