About Karen
Karen Delos Santos is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She brings 17 years of experience to conversations about parenting pressures, self-esteem, and finding direction in life. Her work focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.
She listens for what matters most and helps clients break big problems into small, manageable goals. Sessions often address communication problems, codependency, jealousy, and family of origin concerns.
Background and approach
Karen also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, money worries, and midlife transitions. She pays attention to feelings of emptiness, guilt, and shame, and to recovery after traumatic events. Social anxiety and phobia are other areas she addresses with concrete coping strategies.
Her style is straightforward and compassionate. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can talk honestly, name patterns, and try new ways of relating to others and themselves. That can mean role-playing difficult conversations or practicing smaller daily habits.
Clients can expect a focus on real-life solutions and steady progress. Karen works in English and practices in Florida as an LMHC. She helps people clarify goals, build skills, and move toward greater self-love and life purpose.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Karen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on building skills and insight. One common approach she uses helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors so they can reduce anxiety and lift mood; sessions practice new ways of thinking and acting that fit daily life. Another approach centers on emotional processing and repairing relationship patterns by naming old hurts and trying new communication habits, which can help with family issues, codependency, and jealousy.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Karen collaborates with each person to find methods that match their goals and personality, and she adjusts strategies as needs change. That means trying things, checking how they feel, and changing course when necessary.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or movement is limited; live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or fit short check-ins into a workday. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and to practice skills in real time while balancing daily responsibilities.
