About Karyn
Karyn Borrego is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arizona with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and grief, and helps people manage major life changes. Karyn notes additional focus areas such as codependency, communication struggles, control issues, and recovery from abuse and domestic violence.
She uses common evidence-based methods to help people notice what matters and try different ways of responding. Sessions often include clear, practical skills for managing panic, mood shifts, and overwhelming emotions. Karyn also supports people coping with midlife changes, divorce and separation, and concerns tied to aging and geriatric issues.
Karyn draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful patterns and practice new behaviors. She includes Client-Centered and Emotionally-Focused ideas to make space for a person’s values and relationships. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills may be used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are central concerns.
Her work often centers on rebuilding self-trust after traumatic events, and on setting clearer personal boundaries. People who struggle with people-pleasing, guilt, or difficulty saying no will find direct, concrete tools to try between sessions. Karyn also addresses self-harm thoughts, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress with step-by-step coping strategies.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite hard thoughts and feelings. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where people feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like panic and depression. That approach often includes short exercises and homework to practice between sessions.Karyn treats selecting an approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with the client about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust the plan as needed based on what helps in real life.
The therapist’s biography does not list which online formats she uses, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, require less travel, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. For people who prefer structured skill practice, ACT and CBT translate well to video or phone check-ins and written exercises that can be reviewed during sessions.
