Karina Flores

Karina Flores is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 10 years helping adults through difficult life moments. She works with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed by stress or anxiety, or who are dealing with depression, grief, or changes in relationships. Karina speaks English and Spanish and practices in Florida.

Her style is warm, direct, and collaborative. Sessions focus on honest conversation and practical steps. She aims to create a space where clients can say what they’re really feeling and begin to make small, manageable changes.

Karina uses proven therapeutic approaches to help people build coping skills and stronger relationships. She draws on techniques that clarify unhelpful thinking patterns, set reachable goals, and address past trauma when it gets in the way of daily life. The work is paced to each person’s needs and readiness.

She helps clients look at what is working and what isn’t, and then make choices that match their values. This can include improving sleep, managing anger, addressing parenting stress, or building self-esteem. Karina emphasizes practical tools that people can try between sessions.

Getting started does not require a perfect plan or full clarity about the problem. Karina supports people through first steps, decision points, and ongoing change so they feel more grounded and capable in everyday life.

How her approaches shape online work

Karina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to guide her work. CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and make day-to-day life easier. Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on working through past painful events in ways that reduce their hold on current feelings and reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Karina works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She will discuss options and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during a workday break or after school drop-off. It also lets people use strategies and tools in the moments they arise, then bring observations back to the next session for practical troubleshooting and skill-building.
