Korina Echeverria , LPCC

Korina Echeverria is a California-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationships, family challenges, and parenting concerns. She focuses on practical, easy-to-follow steps and listens for what matters most to each person. Korina aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and respectful.

She works with people facing life transitions and midlife concerns, as well as those dealing with workplace stress, isolation, and questions about life purpose. She also supports people coping with attachment wounds, issues around abandonment, and the emotional impact of chronic illness or pain. Sessions attend to everyday problems as well as deeper patterns that affect relationships.

Korina draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness, and narrative techniques. In practice this means she helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, try small behavior changes, practice present-moment skills, and reframe personal stories to reduce stuckness. She shapes conversations to each person’s pace and goals.

Her style is direct but warm, aiming to create a space where people can be honest and try new ways of coping. Sessions may include short exercises, skills to practice between meetings, and collaborative goal-setting. Korina treats women’s issues as one of the areas she focuses on and brings sensitivity to gender-related concerns.

She has three years of professional experience and holds a California LPCC credential. Sessions are offered in English and are provided through a mix of video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and responding. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in relationships and try new ways of relating in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions influence feelings and offers concrete skills for change, which translate well to short exercises and homework between online meetings. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration; the therapist offers reflective listening and helps clients set their own goals while following their pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Korina will work collaboratively to choose which methods suit a person’s needs, goals, and comfort level. She can combine techniques over time and check in about what helps and what feels useful so the process stays flexible.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or when someone prefers written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different formats to see what works best.
