About Karen
LCPC and LMHC practicing in Florida with 14 years of experience, Karen Schwartz Triana helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, and other life changes. She also focuses on issues such as codependency, communication problems, commitment concerns, parenting strain, workplace stress, and ADHD-related challenges. Karen uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work.
Karen began her career after graduating from the University of South Florida in 2011. She moved from career counseling into mental health counseling and has worked across a range of settings with adults and others experiencing mood disorders, trauma, and adjustment difficulties. Her experience spans 14 years and includes both clinical counseling and rehabilitation perspectives.
In sessions she keeps communication direct and practical. She and the person she is working with set progress goals and check them regularly. Sessions include time at the end to reflect on what helped and what to try next.
Her methods emphasize short-term problem solving alongside skill building. Cognitive Behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and change behavior. Solution-Focused and Narrative tools help people find what is already working and reframe difficult stories.
Karen adapts her approach to the needs presented in each meeting. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where client and therapist create a plan together and adjust it over time. People considering a first session are encouraged to complete the matching steps before booking so goals can be discussed from the start.

Therapeutic approaches and what online sessions involve
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person’s concerns, helping them set goals and guide the pace of work. It supports issues where people need to be heard and want to develop their own answers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and stress-related problems. Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings about change and build the motivation to try new behaviors; it can be useful for addictions, ambivalence about treatment, and behavior change.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to identify goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust methods as progress is reviewed. That process helps decide whether more CBT, solution-focused steps, or another method is most helpful.
The biography did not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Different formats also let people choose sessions that suit quieter surroundings, lower bandwidth, or shorter check-ins depending on what they need.
