Karina Flores, LCSW

Karina Flores is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She also lists blended family issues among her focus areas and speaks both English and Spanish.

Karina uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to help people understand their patterns and develop practical coping skills. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now and on small, manageable steps clients can try between meetings. She aims to help people clarify options rather than prescribe one right answer.

Clients can expect collaborative conversations that look at current thoughts, behaviors, and relationship patterns. Karina draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking, Motivational Interviewing to support change, and Solution-Focused techniques to set concrete goals. She also brings Trauma-Focused perspectives when past events continue to affect daily life.

Her work commonly addresses stress around parenting roles, co-parenting logistics, and the practical strains that come with blended households. She helps people sort out communication problems, commitment questions, and shifting routines after a separation or new partnership.

Karina notes that many people come to therapy unsure where to begin. She asks about immediate concerns, current goals, and what a workable next step looks like. From there she and the client agree on short-term goals and practical exercises to try between sessions.
