About Karen
Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 17 years of experience, Karen Delos Santos helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and self-esteem concerns. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address emotional wounds and practical problems. Sessions are aimed at clear, usable change rather than abstract theory.
Karen works with adults across different life stages, including young adults and those facing midlife transitions. She focuses on common family and relationship patterns without providing family or couples therapy unless arranged. Typical areas she addresses include communication problems, codependency, caregiver stress, and family of origin issues.
Her approach breaks down complex feelings into manageable steps. She talks through patterns of guilt, shame, emptiness, and jealousy and connects them to everyday choices. The work often includes building self-compassion, strengthening communication skills, and mapping practical changes for daily life.
Karen brings attention to both emotional history and current behavior. That means noticing how past wounds show up now, and practicing different responses in the moment. When trauma is present, she attends to recovery and pacing so people can move forward without becoming overwhelmed.
Sessions also address life purpose, money and financial stress, social anxiety, and post-traumatic stress symptoms. She encourages clear goals and regular progress checks so clients can see what is changing and what still needs work.

How her evidence-based approaches translate to remote sessions
Her practice uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and behavioral change. One common approach she uses is skills-based work that teaches practical ways to manage anxiety and stress, such as breathing strategies, activity planning, and stepped exposure to social situations. Another typical strand of work addresses relationship and communication patterns by identifying unhelpful interactions and practicing alternative responses in real life. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Karen will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts pacing and methods based on how someone responds so the plan is workable and understandable. Confirm the currently offered session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins that might be harder to arrange in person. Some people prefer video for face-to-face interaction while others choose audio or shorter sessions when they need a quick check-in; clarify available formats when you book so sessions match your day-to-day life.Sheet 3
