About Karen
Karen Schwartz Triana is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 14 years of experience. She practices in Florida and helps adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family problems, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, parenting concerns, and related issues. Sessions are presented in straightforward language and focus on practical next steps rather than labels.
She began as a career counselor after graduating from the University of South Florida in 2011 and moved into broader mental health work. Her background includes supporting people with anxiety, depression, trauma, career difficulties, and family and marriage conflicts. That range shaped a pragmatic approach to therapy.
Karen uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Solution-Focused and Narrative techniques. In practice this means conversations that look at thoughts and behaviors, goals you can track, and stories you tell about difficult events. She also draws on motivational interviewing to clarify what you want to change.
Sessions emphasize clear goals and short-term steps. Karen checks in at the end of each meeting so clients can reflect on progress and adjust plans. She uses practical tools such as behavior strategies, goal-setting, and, when useful, creative techniques to help people process experiences.
People come for help with parenting stress, communication problems, grief, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and mood concerns including bipolar and postpartum depression. The focus is on what can be done next in daily life, one session at a time.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs space to sort out feelings and decide what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and offers practical techniques to change patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and relationship conflict.The therapist treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will work with clients to identify goals and try methods that match those goals and preferences. Together they monitor what helps and adjust the plan over time so the work stays relevant to daily life.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so clients can use break times or evenings more effectively. Licensed professionals can bring CBT tools, solution-focused steps, and motivational interviewing into online meetings to keep progress focused and practical.
