Karen Lopez-Feliciano, LMHC

Karen Lopez-Feliciano is a Florida LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) with 22 years of experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues around intimacy. She provides services in both English and Spanish.

Karen began her career at the Department of Children and Families in New York. That work led her to earn a master’s degree in counseling and to focus on helping people reach practical goals. Early roles exposed her to mood disorders, substance use, conduct issues, and family conflict. Over time she has worked in both inpatient and outpatient treatment settings with adults.

Her practice emphasizes problem-solving and clear steps people can try between sessions. She uses approaches that help identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, increase motivation for change, and build concrete solutions for current problems. Karen often frames work as learning small skills that add up over time.

The bilingual nature of her practice has allowed her to support a broader range of people across cultural and language lines. She asks for openness and willingness to try new strategies and to track what helps. Sessions are described as collaborative and action-oriented, focused on changing thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress.

Karen notes that beginning therapy is a decision that takes courage. She encourages straightforward conversation about goals, what has or hasn’t worked before, and practical next steps. If someone wants to address anger or impulsivity, she looks at triggers, patterns, and doable behavioral changes.
