About Karyn
Karyn Borrego is an Arizona Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with seven years of clinical experience working with adults. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and coping with life changes, and also attends to concerns such as codependency, communication struggles, midlife transitions, and life purpose.
Karyn uses practical, evidence-informed approaches in session. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to help people name what feels wrong and try different ways of responding. Sessions typically include clear tools, moment-to-moment emotional work, and chance to reflect on values and next steps.
She often supports people recovering from sexual assault, domestic violence, or other trauma by addressing symptoms of post-traumatic stress and helping with safety-focused coping. Karyn also helps those dealing with panic attacks, mood disorders, self-harm urges, and complicated grief after loss.
Her faith perspective can inform conversations when clients want it included, though sessions remain focused on practical coping and choices. She works with adults who are rethinking career or relationship directions, facing divorce or separation, or navigating aging-related concerns.
Karyn asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when emotions are uncomfortable. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck about life direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns and behaviors and offers practical exercises to reduce symptoms like panic attacks and low mood. It tends to involve homework and clear skill practice between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that help when intense feelings and impulsive reactions get in the way of daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That collaborative process guides whether sessions emphasize values-based action, thought-challenging exercises, or emotion regulation skills.
The original biography does not specify which online formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins alongside longer visits, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt ACT, CBT, and DBT exercises to remote sessions so people can practice skills in everyday settings.
