About Karen
Karen Lopez-Feliciano is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 22 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, sleep difficulties, and other life challenges. She speaks English and Spanish and offers straightforward, practical care for everyday problems.
Early in her career she worked at the Department of Children and Families in New York. That experience led her to earn a master’s degree in counseling and to focus on helping people reach their goals. Over time she worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings with adults, gaining experience in mood disorders, substance use, and family conflict.
Now based in Florida, she continues to support people dealing with emotional, behavioral, and thinking difficulties. Her background includes work with trauma, grief, ADHD, anger, compulsive behaviors, and issues around intimacy and relationships. She also addresses concerns such as codependency, communication problems, guilt and shame, and compassion fatigue.
In sessions she emphasizes problem-solving and practical steps that clients can try between meetings. She uses approaches that help people change unhelpful thinking and take small, achievable actions toward better sleep, mood, and daily functioning.
Karen recognizes how hard it can be to ask for help. She aims to make the process as clear and manageable as possible, and she invites people to begin by sharing what matters most to them.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Karen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and adjust thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going; CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep trouble, and compulsive patterns. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change and can be helpful for substance use, lifestyle shifts, or when motivation feels stuck. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on practical steps and small goals, helping people move toward what they want rather than dwelling on the past.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try different strategies, and adjust plans together so methods match your needs and preferences. Clients are involved in setting goals and deciding which tools to use between sessions.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people continue momentum between visits by using techniques and homework that translate well to daily life.
