About Karen
Karen Marconi is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 13 years of professional experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT-related concerns, self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, family issues, trauma and grief. Karen also supports people facing anger, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, and codependency patterns.
Karen frames therapy around each person's story and strengths. She treats clients as the expert on their own life and helps them notice what already works. Sessions involve clear conversation, practical steps, and attention to motivation and choices.
Her approach draws on client-centered work to follow what matters to the individual. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to name unhelpful thoughts and try different behavior patterns. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change.
Karen uses narrative and solution-focused ideas to reframe problems and build short-term goals. That means looking at how stories around relationships, control, or codependent habits shape daily decisions, then testing small changes. She offers grounded tools rather than abstract theory.
People often come to her wanting better boundaries, clearer communication, or help with substance use and compulsive patterns. She talks through life transitions, grief, and issues that leave people feeling empty or isolated. The work is conversational, practical, and paced to the client's comfort.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on following what matters most to the client. Online sessions using this approach prioritize listening, reflecting what the client says, and building goals from the client's own values. This helps with issues like low self-worth, relationship patterns, and codependency tendencies.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online sessions that use CBT, the therapist and client identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments between meetings. This method can be useful for anxiety, mood shifts, and compulsive behaviors.
Motivational interviewing supports people who feel unsure about change. Online meetings using this style focus on exploring mixed feelings and strengthening personal reasons for change. It can help with recovery from substance use, improving motivation, and setting manageable goals.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will help decide which methods fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is made together and can shift as progress happens.
Please confirm current session formats before booking since available options are not listed here. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter or more frequent check-ins, and cut travel time so therapy fits into busy days.
