More about Karen

Hello, I am a licensed mental health counselor and certified rehabilitation counselor in Florida. I graduated from the University of South Florida in 2011. I began my career as a career counselor and then moved into mental health counseling. I have worked with clients with anxiety, depression, coping with disabilities, trauma, career difficulties, family and marriage conflicts, etc. I have over 8 years’ experience with counseling adults, families and children. I am a Solution Focused, Cognitive Behavioral and Client Centered Therapist.
In my sessions, I provide a safe environment with open communication. I tailor my sessions to my client’s needs. I believe in taking counseling one session at a time. I help my clients develop progress goals, so they can track the progress they have made in the sessions. I take time at the end of every session for the client to take time to reflect on how they have felt the session was. I have utilized various techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy, art therapy, motivational interviewing, behavior modification, etc. I believe in working together with my clients and creating an individualized treatment plan for them.
I work with you to help you discover the next steps you need to take to improve yourself. I promote change through personal growth. I cannot wait to work with you.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Karen is supportive, kind and compassionate. She has really helped me navigate through my concerns and give me helpful tools that will last a lifetime.
Karen worked with me to overcome an abusive relationship. I felt she was a perfect match to me. She was both understanding, and encouraging when I made progress. I especially loved that she checked in with me between sessions, and her personable demeanor. I am pausing my subscription for now but I look forward to resuming sessions with her once again when I need them. Karen has really helped me create a better path and outlook for my future and leaving behind trauma and abuse.

Never judge me which I really need it some one to listen to me and not just judge because everyone makes mistakes . I hope better help reads this because the hai counselor help me alot
Karen has been helping me so much to get through this really rough time in my life. I am just thankful that I can reach out to her anytime and learn and just be open to everything I feel and she will just validate that my feelings make sense and they matter. She always encourage me and tells me that I am doing well with managing my emotions and my decisions in my life. I am just glad that I signed up for Better Help and got matched with Karen’s counseling and expertise.
Karen has made me think of things in a perspective I never realized. I'm very grateful that she's able to provide valuable insight to me.
