Dr. Hannah Karolewicz , LPC, LMHC

Dr. Hannah Karolewicz helps people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, sleep problems, parenting strain, and challenges with attention or mood. Dr. Karolewicz speaks English and Spanish and practices in Florida as an LPC and LMHC. She uses talking, practical tools, and goal-focused steps to help people make changes. Sessions are collaborative - the client’s priorities guide the work. Often the first meetings focus on understanding what is most upsetting and what a small, realistic change might look like. Her approach draws heavily on cognitive behavioral ideas. That means noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying different behaviors to see what helps. Mindfulness techniques are used to bring attention to the present moment and reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods help when someone wants clear, short-term goals and a plan to reach them. Dr. Karolewicz has ten years of counseling experience across age groups and settings. She has supported people coping with addiction, bipolar symptoms, grief, relationship problems, and parenting challenges. She has also worked with concerns such as attachment issues, body image, and codependency. Therapy with her is described by straightforward conversation, practical exercises, and step-by-step planning. People can expect a warm, respectful tone and concrete tools to try between sessions. If someone prefers Spanish, she can meet in that language.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and tailoring conversations to what each person values. It helps people feel heard and supports their own goals by following their lead rather than imposing a fixed plan.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Online sessions often include identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying small behavior experiments, and using short worksheets or exercises between meetings to track progress.

Mindfulness Therapy trains attention to the present moment through simple practices like breathing and body awareness. These techniques can reduce reactivity to stress and improve sleep and focus when practiced in short daily moments.

Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will listen to a client’s goals, explain different approaches, and together decide which methods to try first. That decision can change over time as needs evolve, and the plan is adjusted in collaboration.

Online sessions offer practical benefits. Video calls are good for in-depth conversation and exercises that need visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, homework review, or shorter coaching-style support between longer sessions. These options can make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, childcare, and daily life.
