Karina Flores

Karina Flores is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience helping people navigate hard moments. She focuses on practical support for anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and relationship struggles. Karina speaks English and Spanish and works from Florida. Karina meets adults where they are and starts by listening. She helps people name what feels off and set small, clear goals. Sessions tend to focus on skills you can use between meetings, like coping strategies and communication tools. Her style is collaborative and nonjudgmental. She follows approaches grounded in research, and matches techniques to each person's needs instead of using a one-size-fits-all plan. Clients can expect straightforward conversation and guidance toward concrete steps. Karina often uses emotion-focused work after safety and stability are in place. That can look like processing grief or addressing trauma one piece at a time. She also helps people rebuild confidence and handle life changes at a manageable pace. Practical problems such as sleep disruption, parenting stress, chronic illness impact, or workplace strain are addressed alongside deeper patterns like abandonment fears or avoidant tendencies. The aim is clearer thinking and more useful day-to-day habits. If you are worried about starting, Karina encourages small first steps. There is no need to have everything sorted before reaching out. The process begins with a few questions and a plan that fits your life.

How her approaches guide online support

Karina uses clear, evidence-based methods to help people make progress in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. Motivational Interviewing focuses on your own reasons for change and helps strengthen motivation when you feel stuck. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Karina will talk with you about your goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. The plan can change over time as needs shift and new issues come up. If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets conversations continue when life changes make in-person meetings harder. Karina focuses on practical strategies you can use between sessions so progress carries into daily routines.
