Karina Flores

Karina Flores is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 10 years of experience helping people navigate difficult life moments. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, stress, career questions, relationship struggles, and low self-esteem. Karina speaks English and Spanish and practices in Florida.

Her style is compassionate and collaborative. She aims to create a space where people can speak honestly, feel heard, and move at a comfortable pace. Sessions focus on practical steps rather than lectures, and she supports clients as they test changes and build confidence.

Karina uses clearly structured, evidence-based methods to help people understand patterns that keep them stuck. She helps clients learn coping skills for stress, manage mood shifts, and address trauma-related concerns when those arise. Conversations often include setting small goals and tracking progress between meetings.

She also works with career concerns and the strain of caregiving or chronic illness, helping people weigh options and find manageable next steps. For parenting and relationship challenges, she emphasizes clearer communication and problem-solving strategies that fit daily life.

Reaching out does not require having all the answers. Karina helps clients identify what matters most to them and plans changes that feel realistic. Her aim is to help people feel steadier, more capable, and more in control of the next chapter in their lives.

How Karina’s Approaches Work Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person’s own reasons for change. It helps clarify goals and build motivation when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Karina talks with each person about their goals and preferences and chooses methods that fit those needs. The decision is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, sessions can be scheduled around work, reduce travel time, and allow follow-ups between major life events. Therapists can use structured tools from CBT or short goal-focused check-ins from Motivational Interviewing to keep sessions targeted and practical.
