Karen Lopez-Feliciano

Karen Lopez-Feliciano is a licensed mental health counselor with 22 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and career concerns. She speaks English and Spanish and works with individuals on practical changes. Her approach is direct and collaborative, focused on clear goals and steady progress.

She began her career at the Department of Children and Families in New York and later completed a master’s degree in counseling. Early work included mood disorders, substance abuse, conduct issues, and family conflict. Over time she added experience in both inpatient and outpatient treatment settings for adults.

Now based in Florida with a Florida LMHC credential, she supports people managing trauma, grief, ADHD, anger, intimacy challenges, sleeping and eating concerns, and parenting stress. She also helps clients dealing with codependency, communication problems, guilt and shame, and compulsive behaviors.

In sessions she uses straightforward methods to identify unhelpful patterns and set small, achievable steps. Techniques draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to build skills and momentum. The work often includes shaping daily routines, setting goals, and practicing new ways of responding.

She knows asking for help can feel hard and prefers a steady, encouraging pace. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking. To begin, follow the site’s Start Therapy process and complete the short matching questionnaire.

How approach choices shape online therapy

Karen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, turning vague worries into concrete steps. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and daily habits.

She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change; this method focuses on strengthening personal motivation and clarifying reasons to act. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set small, achievable goals and build on what already works, which fits well for people seeking fast, practical improvements.

Finding the best fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences, then suggest which approaches to try first. Clients and the therapist check progress together and adjust methods as needed so the work stays useful and realistic.

Please confirm available session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to maintain continuity of care during life transitions while focusing on concrete goals and skills practice.
