Karina Flores, LCSW

Karina Flores is a licensed clinical social worker with over ten years of experience helping adults navigate difficult life moments. She practices in Florida and works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, and other challenges that make daily life harder.

She meets people where they are and uses a straightforward, compassionate approach. Sessions focus on listening, noticing what matters to the client, and trying out small changes that can make a real difference. Karina aims to help clients build coping skills and greater confidence one step at a time.

Her work often addresses life transitions, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strains, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and challenges like ADHD or bipolar mood concerns. She also helps with intimacy-related worries, sleep problems, anger, and career-related stress. Karina draws on concrete strategies to address things that interfere with daily functioning.

Clinically, she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to guide sessions. That means sessions may include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, setting practical goals, and processing difficult experiences at a pace that fits the client.

Karina offers services in English and Spanish and supports people who need help sorting through what to try next. She encourages a collaborative process so clients feel heard and involved in choosing next steps.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Karina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps clients notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then try practical steps to change them. Trauma-Focused Therapy provides ways to process painful experiences while paying attention to pacing and safety so the work does not become overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Karina will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they review what feels most useful and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy weeks, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Some people find phone or video sessions help maintain consistent work during life transitions or while managing chronic health concerns. Licensed professionals will discuss which format best supports the goals you bring to therapy.
