About Karen
Karen Lopez-Feliciano is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anger, addictions, anxiety, and depression. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make therapy straightforward and practical. Her style is hands-on and goal-focused, so people who want clear steps and steady progress often find her approach helpful.
She began her career at the Department of Children and Families in New York and later completed a master’s degree in counseling.
Background and approach
Since 1996 she has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, gaining experience with mood disorders, substance use, and behavioral concerns. That background shaped a practical approach to everyday problems. Over two decades of work have included helping people with trauma, grief, relationship and family stress, parenting challenges, and issues like impulsivity or obsessive behaviors.
She also supports people dealing with career stress, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Her bilingual skills let her speak directly with a wider range of clients. In sessions she tends to use techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and building small, doable habits.
She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and solution-focused methods to set immediate goals. Sessions often center on clear problem solving and practical tools. People who are ready to try concrete steps to reduce anger, improve coping, or change patterns may find her approach useful.
She encourages openness and steady effort, and she works with each person to set realistic next steps.

How Karen Uses Practical Approaches Online
Karen commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, anger, or depression. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their reasons to change and builds motivation before starting larger behavior shifts.She also applies solution-focused techniques that aim for small, immediate goals so progress is visible early on. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about needs, goals, and preferences and then collaboratively try strategies that fit the person’s life.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer, interactive sessions while phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send short updates, get quick guidance, or keep momentum between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and maintain steady progress.
