About Karina
Karina keeps conversations direct and respectful. She listens first, then works with each person to shape practical steps for change. Sessions focus on building motivation, increasing confidence, and developing tools to handle strong emotions and difficult situations.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to match what a person needs. That mix is used to spot unhelpful thinking, improve emotional understanding, and set clear, achievable goals. Karina adapts the work to each person rather than following a single script.
With four years of professional experience, she draws on real-world problem solving and plain language. She aims to make progress feel manageable, not overwhelming. The goal is steady change that fits into everyday life.
Karina welcomes clients who want practical skills and someone who will listen without judgment. She encourages people to take the first step toward feeling more capable and balanced. To begin, readers can use the site's Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a session.
How Karina's approaches translate to online work
Karina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to guide her work. CBT looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people test and change unhelpful thinking. EFT focuses on understanding emotions and improving how people express and process those feelings in relationships.She combines these with Solution-Focused Therapy, which narrows in on practical steps and small changes that move a person toward their goals. Together these approaches help with mood, anxiety, relationship concerns, and building coping skills.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Karina will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then recommend which methods to try first. She checks in and adjusts the plan as needed so the work stays relevant and manageable.
