About Karen
Karen Delos Santos is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 17 years of experience. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting strains, and low self-esteem.
She often works with people noticing patterns from their family of origin that affect current relationships and decisions. She also addresses caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose. Sessions focus on practical next steps and clearer ways of relating to others.
In the room she listens for recurring patterns and helps clients try small changes that can shift day-to-day life. Conversations may include looking at how early family roles shaped expectations, practicing clearer communication, and building skills to reduce social anxiety. Work can include processing difficult feelings related to jealousy, forgiveness, or past distress.
Clients meet a therapist who draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what the client wants to change. Karen frames goals in plain terms and tracks progress with simple check-ins.
Her approach is suited to people facing midlife transitions, financial stress, parenting pressure, or repeated relationship cycles. She speaks English and practices in Florida. To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options.
Approaches and how online sessions work
Karen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. Cognitive-behavioral style work looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety going, and teaches specific skills to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines. A second focus is on relational pattern work that examines family of origin roles and recurring dynamics, helping people notice how early expectations shape current relationships and try different ways of responding.Choosing the right method happens together. The therapist will review what you want to change, try an approach, and adjust based on how it fits your goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps clarify what techniques are most useful for stress, parenting struggles, or relationship concerns.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments, shorten travel time, and let people keep momentum between appointments. It can also allow brief check-ins on busy days or longer sessions when more processing is needed. Ask about session length and options during the matching questionnaire so your appointment matches your needs.
