Karen Marconi, LMHC

Karen Marconi is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, and relationship and family concerns. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood issues, grief, and struggles around self-esteem and motivation.

Her approach treats the person as the expert in their own story. She listens for strengths and practical resources clients already have. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps you can try between meetings rather than long theoretical talk.

Karen uses methods drawn from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques. That means conversations aimed at understanding what matters to you, paired with exercises to notice patterns and test different responses. She also brings motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools to help with readiness for change and setting short-term goals.

Narrative therapy is part of her toolbox too, helping people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. For issues like addiction, anger, or codependency she combines motivation-focused conversation with skills practice and planning.

Her style is practical and goal-directed. Sessions are straightforward and focused on what will change daily life - communication, mood management, or managing urges. Clients looking to reduce snapping at loved ones, handle workplace frustration, or work through built-up resentment often come with clear, behavior-focused aims.

To begin, she asks clients to describe current challenges and what a better week would look like. From there she and the client set short-term steps and review progress together.
