About Karen
Karen Delos Santos is a Florida LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and questions about life purpose. Sessions are conducted in English and focus on practical ways to manage everyday difficulties.
She helps people untangle communication problems and family of origin issues. She also addresses codependency, jealousy, guilt and shame, and the emotional impact of caregiving. Karen supports those coping with post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and feelings of emptiness during midlife transitions.
In the room she aims to identify the patterns that keep someone stuck. Conversations often focus on concrete skills for handling conflict, improving self-esteem, and managing anxiety. She uses established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide those steps rather than prescribing quick fixes.
Her work pays attention to practical life matters too, like money stress and the day-to-day demands of parenting. Sessions include talking through problems, noticing recurring reactions, and trying out different ways of relating. Progress is usually built from small changes applied between sessions.
People who come for help are often looking for clearer direction after a change in work, relationships, or health. She asks about what matters most to the person and helps map realistic next steps. To begin, readers are asked to confirm session options before booking so they understand how meetings are arranged.
How evidence-based techniques guide online sessions
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on changing patterns in thinking and behavior. Cognitive approaches look at unhelpful thinking and teach skills to test and change those thoughts. This can help with anxiety, low mood, and rumination about relationships.Another common approach addresses emotional processing and the way past hurts shape current reactions. Work in this area often includes noticing emotional triggers, naming feelings, and trying different responses to reduce repeating the same patterns. That can be useful for family of origin issues, guilt, and shame.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help clients identify which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. Decisions about techniques are collaborative and may shift as progress is tracked.
Confirm the session formats before booking, since the biography did not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often adapt their methods so practical changes can be made between meetings and life responsibilities can be managed alongside therapeutic work.
