About Karen

Karen Lopez-Feliciano is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with more than two decades of clinical experience. She guides clients through practical problem-solving and goal-focused work, drawing on long experience in mood disorders, substance use, and family-related concerns.

Background and approach

Fluent in English and Spanish, she provides care from her practice in Florida and brings a history of inpatient and outpatient work to current clinical efforts.

Her clinical journey began at the Department of Children and Families in New York and progressed into graduate training in counseling, followed by years supporting adults and families with depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, conduct problems, and interpersonal conflict. Over time she expanded into trauma-related issues, grief, relationship difficulties, and self-regulation challenges such as impulsivity and obsessive-compulsive concerns.

Karen emphasizes collaboration and readiness to change, asking only that clients come willing to engage in the work. She blends goal-oriented techniques with motivational support to help people reduce symptoms, improve coping, and move toward clearer thinking and healthier behaviors.

Practical approaches for online progress

Karen integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build motivation for change. CBT focuses on linking thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to create concrete skills for reducing anxiety, managing mood, improving sleep, and addressing symptoms related to compulsivity and impulsivity. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative method that helps people clarify their own reasons for change and strengthens commitment to goals, which can be especially useful in areas like substance use, procrastination, or other behavior changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works together with each client to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative stance means techniques may shift over time as progress and priorities evolve, with the therapist offering guidance while clients set the pace and direction of work.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into busy lives and allow the same evidence-informed approaches to be used in accessible formats for ongoing support and problem-solving.
