About Karen
Karen Lopez-Feliciano is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, and parenting challenges. She works in both English and Spanish and brings 22 years of hands-on experience to sessions. Her approach is practical and direct, aimed at making small changes that add up.
Karen began her career at the Department of Children and Families in New York, which led her to earn a master's degree in counseling.
Background and approach
Early work included mood disorders, substance misuse, conduct concerns, and family conflict. Those roles shaped how she supports people today. Over two decades she has worked in inpatient and outpatient settings with adults managing emotional, behavioral, and cognitive concerns.
She later relocated to Florida and obtained her Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential. Her bilingual skills help her connect with a wider range of clients. In sessions she focuses on problem solving and practical steps.
Conversations can cover thoughts, behaviors, coping skills, and relationship or parenting stressors. The work is collaborative and paced to each person's readiness to change. Karen aims to make the start of therapy less intimidating.
She encourages openness and a willingness to try new strategies. The goal is calmer daily life and clearer ways to manage setbacks.

Online approaches that fit busy parenting lives
Karen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide online work. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical exercises to shift those patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, concrete steps and on what is already working; it is useful for parenting stress, coping with life changes, and setting clear short-term goals.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily constraints and then suggest ways to adapt techniques to fit the client's life. That decision is shared and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible options. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports quick reflection between sessions. These formats help people fit counseling into busy schedules, manage parenting demands, and keep momentum between appointments.
