About Karen

Karen Schwartz Triana is a licensed mental health professional with 14 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She holds MD, LCPC, and LMHC credentials and practices in Florida, working with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, and career or workplace challenges.

Her background includes training in career counseling and mental health care, and she combines that experience to help clients clarify goals and take practical next steps. Karen favors an individualized, client-centered approach that draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused techniques, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy when appropriate.

Sessions emphasize open communication, collaborative goal-setting, and measurable progress so clients can see change over time. She structures appointments to include reflection at the close of each session, allowing clients to evaluate how the work felt and what to carry forward.

Clients can expect a therapist who adapts methods to each person’s needs and focuses on building skills for coping with life changes, improving relationships, and increasing self-awareness. Her practice aims to support personal growth, reduce distressing symptoms, and help clients identify clear, achievable steps toward their goals.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Access

Karen integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression and to build coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients can explore their experiences and define goals at their own pace. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people strengthen motivation for change by exploring ambivalence and reinforcing personal values.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This means treatment plans evolve together, with regular check-ins and adjustments to ensure the approach feels workable and relevant.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for clients balancing work, family, or other commitments. These options make it easier to attend regularly, maintain momentum between appointments, and access therapy from different locations while still working with licensed professionals to pursue practical, goal-oriented change.
