About Karina
Karina focuses on practical steps that fit into daily life. She introduces tools to manage mood, improve sleep, and reduce stress. Sessions include problem-solving, building coping skills, and practicing small changes that add up over time.
Her style is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. She listens for what matters most and helps people sort out choices rather than telling them what to do. Clients set the pace, and work proceeds at a comfortable, realistic speed.
Karina uses several evidence-based methods. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behavior, Motivational Interviewing to support change, and Solution-Focused work to set clear, achievable goals. She also integrates trauma-focused strategies when past events affect day-to-day life.
She offers services in Florida and speaks English and Spanish. Reaching out can feel big, and Karina invites people to start even if they aren't sure what will come next. Her goal is to help clients feel more capable, connected, and able to move toward the life they want.

Step 3
How Karina’s approaches translate to online therapy
Karina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to clarify goals and strengthen motivation when people feel stuck or uncertain about change.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Karina works together with each client to choose methods that match their goals, values, and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue work when life events or schedules make in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and Motivational Interviewing for video or phone conversations so the same practical tools and goal-focused work continue across different settings.
