About Karen
Karen Schwartz Triana is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in Florida with 14 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family issues, anger, addiction, grief, parenting pressures, and workplace problems. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients.
Karen began her career after graduating from the University of South Florida in 2011. She moved from career counseling into mental health work and has experience across career difficulties, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, postpartum depression, and coping with life changes. Her practice includes support for people facing codependency, commitment and communication problems, impulsivity, jealousy, and self-harm concerns.
Her approach combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused methods. She also uses Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy techniques when useful. In sessions she emphasizes open communication, concrete progress goals, and short-term steps clients can take between meetings.
Karen structures sessions so there is time to reflect at the end of each meeting and track what changed since the last appointment. She helps people map next steps and develop practical skills for managing anger, improving communication, or managing mood symptoms. Work is collaborative and goal oriented rather than prescriptive.
Costs vary by location and sessions are delivered through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session through the online therapy options button.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what someone says so they can clarify feelings and make their own choices. Online sessions using this approach tend to center on conversation, exploring values, and real-time adjustments to goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Practically, this means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavioral experiments between sessions to reduce anger or anxiety symptoms.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find internal reasons to change by weighing pros and cons and building motivation. It works well when someone is unsure about next steps or wants to change habits related to addiction, impulsivity, or workplace behavior.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences, and will adapt techniques as progress is reviewed.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery modes. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits can help people keep consistency with the plan and practice new skills between sessions.
