About Karen
Karen Lopez-Feliciano is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and other life challenges. She speaks English and Spanish and draws on a long history of work in mental health settings.
She began her career at the Department of Children and Families in New York and later completed a master's degree in counseling. Early work included mood disorders, substance abuse, conduct issues, and family conflict. Over the years she moved between inpatient and outpatient treatment settings and focused on adult care.
In Florida she obtained her LMHC credential and continued treating people with emotional, behavioral, and cognitive struggles. Sessions aim to look at patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way of daily life. Practical strategies are used to reduce symptoms and improve coping.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That mix supports short-term goal work and motivation for change, while also addressing the thoughts and habits that keep problems in place. She uses clear steps and measurable goals so progress can be tracked.
Karen has worked in both community and clinical settings for two decades. Her bilingual skills extend access for Spanish speakers. People seeking help are invited to complete a brief questionnaire to begin the scheduling process.
How sessions work
How Karen’s approaches translate to online sessions
Karen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in straightforward ways online. CBT looks at current thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical exercises to change them, which can be practiced between sessions. Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons for change and build confidence to take steps forward.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose which methods match their goals and preferences. That means discussing what feels doable and adjusting plans as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. The emphasis is on practical, goal-oriented work that can be continued between appointments to support steady progress.
