Karina Gomez , LMHC

Karina Gomez is a licensed mental health counselor with ten years of experience helping people handle stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She works with adults who struggle with focus, attention, and motivation. Sessions are presented in a calm, nonjudgmental way so people can talk honestly about what they are feeling.

In the first meetings she helps clients clarify what matters most to them and sets simple, achievable goals. Conversations are practical and direct, with attention to everyday routines that affect mood and focus. She supports people learning new habits for better concentration and coping skills for overwhelming moments.

Karina values straightforward communication and encourages clients to name what is hard. She uses tools that help people notice patterns, manage impulses, and build confidence. Discussions may include strategies for handling guilt, shame, or relationship tensions that come from family of origin or blended family dynamics.

She also offers support around caregiver stress, eating and food-related issues, and questions of life purpose. Karina works with people affected by neurodiversity concerns such as autism and Asperger Syndrome, as well as intellectual disability and disruptive mood presentations.

Sessions take place online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Karina practices from Florida and conducts therapy in English. She approaches each person as an individual and partners with them to find realistic steps toward a more manageable life.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Access

Karina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and habits. One approach centers on behavioral strategies to improve focus and manage ADHD symptoms, helping people structure their day and reduce distractions. Another approach emphasizes mood management and coping skills for anxiety and depression, teaching breathing, activity scheduling, and thought-challenging exercises that can be used between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about current needs, goals, and daily routines, and then suggest techniques to try. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan so it fits the person’s life and preferences.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and text are useful for quick updates, journaling-style reflections, or for people who prefer typing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep progress moving forward.
