About Karen
Karen Schwartz Triana is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in Florida with 14 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, addictions, grief, parenting struggles, and issues related to codependency and intimacy. Sessions are conducted in English and she blends practical approaches to help people make steady progress.
Her style is direct and structured. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on what matters to the person in the room. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy helps identify small, concrete steps that move someone forward between sessions.
Karen began her career as a career counselor after graduating from the University of South Florida in 2011 and later moved into mental health counseling. She has experience helping people manage career difficulties, cope with disabilities, and navigate mood and anxiety symptoms. Her work also includes trauma-related concerns and recovery after loss.
In sessions she works collaboratively to set progress goals and reviews those goals over time. She leaves space at the end of each visit for clients to reflect on what felt useful so adjustments can be made. Motivational Interviewing appears in her approach when someone is weighing changes and needs help finding internal motivation.
Her practical focus is on steps people can take between sessions. That can mean behavior experiments, communication practice, or brief skill-building exercises. She aims to help people recognize patterns such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing sense of self, and then work on small, realistic changes.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions fit in
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and focusing on what matters most to the individual. It helps people name their priorities and make choices that reflect their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thought and behavior patterns and breaks them into manageable parts so people can try new responses and track results.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That means trying ideas, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress is tracked.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or let someone avoid travel time. It also supports using exercises between sessions such as behavior experiments and communication practice that translate directly into day-to-day life.
