Karina Flores, LCSW

Karina Flores is a licensed clinical social worker with more than ten years of experience supporting adults through change. She practices in Florida and offers sessions in English and Spanish. Karina focuses on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward.

She commonly works with anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Karina also supports people coping with grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, career stress, sleep problems, and challenges related to ADHD and bipolar disorder. She notices what matters most to each person and starts there.

Her style is compassionate and collaborative. Karina aims to create a space where someone can talk plainly about what they are experiencing and be heard without judgment. She frames therapy as a shared process rather than a list of instructions.

Karina uses evidence-informed tools to help clients change unhelpful thoughts and habits, strengthen coping skills, and improve communication. She helps people set small, achievable goals and tracks progress across sessions. The work moves at a pace that fits each person’s life.

Getting started requires a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Karina’s approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people feel more capable and connected to the life they want.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Karina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in ways that are easy to understand and apply. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and everyday habits and then testing small changes to see what helps reduce anxiety or depression. Trauma-Focused Therapy attends to difficult past events and teaches skills to manage intense reactions while building safer ways of coping.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Karina discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods as needed. She helps set clear, practical steps and checks progress together so the plan stays aligned with what the client wants to accomplish.

Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats were not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone choose audio-only when video feels like too much, or a longer session when tackling complex topics. The focus is on making therapy workable for everyday life while using approaches like CBT and Trauma-Focused Therapy to guide progress.
