About Karinna
California LMFT Karinna Sanchez has three years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strains, depression, and life changes. She works in English and Spanish. Karinna frames early sessions as a chance to get to know the person first and the problem second.
Karinna does not reduce someone to a diagnosis. She uses a diagnosis as a guide to select targets and possible interventions. She and the client set concrete goals and a practical plan to address symptoms that cause distress.
In the room she focuses on identifying thoughts, behaviors, and patterns that are no longer helpful. Sessions often include talking through current problems, making small behavioral changes, and tracking progress toward clear goals. She helps people recognize where guilt, shame, or unresolved grief may be driving their reactions.
Karinna pays attention to how relationships and parenting responsibilities shape daily stress. She helps parents notice what is adding strain and develop manageable steps to change patterns that feel stuck. For people dealing with loneliness or social anxiety, she supports gradual steps to reconnect and practice new social skills.
She invites collaboration on treatment plans rather than prescribing a single path. Her approach emphasizes practical steps and regular review so plans can be adjusted as needed. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.

Therapeutic approaches and online session planning
Karinna describes her work as focused on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and then building a plan to change them. Cognitive-focused techniques involve noticing thought patterns that increase anxiety or depression and practicing alternative ways of thinking. These methods help with worries, social anxiety, and low mood by breaking cycles that keep symptoms going.Behaviorally oriented steps involve small, practical changes in daily routines and actions. For example, this can mean gradual exposure to social situations, creating short parenting experiments, or adding regular activities that counter isolation. Those steps make goals concrete and measurable.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Karinna will help figure out which techniques fit the client's goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as progress is tracked. She describes diagnosis as a guide to choose targets and interventions rather than a label that defines a person.
