About Karen
Karen Lopez-Feliciano is a licensed mental health counselor with 22 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction concerns, and grief. She works in both English and Spanish and practices in Florida. Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented, geared toward people who want clear steps and real-life strategies.
She began her career at the Department of Children and Families in New York and went on to earn a master's degree in counseling.
Background and approach
Early work included mood disorders, substance use, conduct issues, and family conflict. Over time she expanded into inpatient and outpatient treatment for adults, building broad experience in mental health and substance-related care. In sessions she focuses on practical changes to thoughts and behaviors.
She uses methods that help people set goals, reduce obstacles, and find motivation to change. Conversations are geared toward problem solving, building new habits, and improving daily functioning. Her bilingual ability in Spanish and English lets her connect with more people.
She emphasizes collaboration and clear steps rather than long, abstract explanations. Many clients come for help with coping skills, impulse control, obsessive or compulsive patterns, and relationship or communication problems. She recognizes that asking for help can feel hard.
The first meetings typically identify immediate priorities and small, manageable actions. From there she and the client track progress, adjust plans, and work toward the goals the person sets.
Online approaches that focus on goals and change
Karen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT often includes simple exercises and homework to test what works and reduce symptoms over time.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. This approach is useful when someone feels uncertain or stuck and needs help clarifying priorities and building motivation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and challenges and then choose or combine methods that fit. The plan is collaborative and adjusted as progress is made.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people keep visual connection for longer sessions. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer brief, on-the-go support and help keep progress between longer sessions.
