About Karina

Karina Flores is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with ten years of experience working with adults. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, and periods of feeling stuck. She also addresses grief, parenting strain, sleeping problems, anger, and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

Karina focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier. She listens to what led someone to seek help and then works with them to identify small changes. That might mean building coping skills, improving how someone communicates, or practicing new ways to respond when stress feels overwhelming.

Her work draws on evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. In practice this looks like setting clear goals, testing out different strategies, and reflecting on what helps. Sessions often include concrete homework and skill practice between meetings.

Clients can expect a straightforward, collaborative style. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try and which goals to set. Karina aims to help people notice measurable shifts in mood, reactions, and relationships over time.

She also addresses a wide range of related concerns, from ADHD and bipolar mood issues to caregiver stress, chronic illness, and intimacy-related problems. People who want practical tools and steady support for handling anger and daily frustrations may find this approach useful.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Karina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing as core methods. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and trying alternative responses, which can reduce anger and anxiety over time. Motivational Interviewing helps clarify what matters to a person and builds internal motivation to try new strategies.

She treats the choice of approach as collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, try one or two methods, and adjust based on what feels useful. That shared process helps pick tools that fit the person's day-to-day life and goals.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where they actually live and work, then bring results back to discuss and refine with a licensed professional.
