Background and approach
She listens for what matters most to each person and adjusts the plan to match their goals and pace. Her background includes four years of professional counseling experience in Texas. She uses a mix of approaches to tailor care, drawing on methods that help people make changes and improve emotional connection.
In sessions she emphasizes collaboration and respect. Karina aims to create space for honest conversation about difficult topics like trauma, addiction, eating concerns, and family-of-origin issues. She encourages small, doable changes that add up over time.
Karina can work with Spanish-speaking clients and accepts people from outside the United States. She describes starting therapy as a courageous step and focuses on supporting clients through the early, often hardest, parts of change.
Practical approaches for online therapy and change
Karina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it focuses on small experiments and new skills people can use daily.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to improve how people express feelings and connect in close relationships. EFT helps when relationship patterns or attachment issues keep repeating and people want clearer communication and emotional closeness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Karina will discuss goals with each person and pick methods that match those goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and she adjusts tools as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer flexibility for quick support, scheduling around work, or when someone prefers writing over speaking.
