About Karen
Karen Delos Santos is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She brings 17 years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Her style is straightforward and empathetic, aimed at practical change rather than jargon.
She focuses on everyday problems like communication breakdowns, low self-esteem, feeling stuck, and the strain of caregiving. Money and financial issues are part of the difficulties she helps people address alongside relationship and life-purpose concerns. Sessions emphasize understanding what is happening now and taking small steps toward relief.
Her approach centers on listening first, then working together to identify unhelpful patterns and realistic alternatives. She pays attention to family of origin themes, guilt and shame, and how those shape current choices. Trauma-related symptoms such as post-traumatic stress and social anxiety are also part of her clinical focus.
Karen aims to make therapy a place for practical problem solving and emotional repair. She supports people through midlife transitions, parenting stress, and moments when life feels empty or overwhelming. Conversations often include communication skills and strategies to rebuild self-love.
People who choose her can expect a calm, nonjudgmental tone and a focus on concrete steps. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical strategies and understanding how past patterns affect present choices. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches specific communication and emotion-regulation tools to lower anxiety and improve relationships. This helps with issues like conflict, social anxiety, and parenting strain.Another frequent element is trauma-informed care that gently addresses painful memories and the emotions they trigger. This method aims to reduce symptoms such as intrusive memories, shame, and avoidance while building coping skills for stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and challenges, then together you will try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Adjustments are made along the way based on what is or isn’t helpful.
