About Karen
Karen Delos Santos is a licensed mental health counselor with 17 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, improve self-esteem, and work through relationship and parenting concerns. She speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel practical and approachable for busy lives.
Her sessions center on everyday struggles like worry, low mood, communication problems, and feeling stuck. She helps clients name what is bothering them and break issues into manageable steps.
Background and approach
Conversations often include looking at family of origin patterns, codependency, and how guilt or shame show up in daily life. Karen also supports people facing life transitions such as a midlife shift or reevaluating life purpose. She pays attention to practical problems too, like money stress and caregiver burnout, and how those pressures affect relationships and mood.
She works with concerns ranging from social anxiety and phobia to post-traumatic stress symptoms. Her style is client-centered and collaborative. She listens for patterns and offers tools that aim to reduce immediate distress while building longer-term coping skills.
Sessions focus on realistic goals and steps clients can try between meetings. People who choose Karen can expect straightforward talk, steady support, and attention to both emotions and everyday demands. She provides a space to practice new ways of handling stress, improve communication, and rebuild self-worth.
Therapeutic techniques and online care that fit your life
Many therapists who work with anxiety and stress use evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thinking and building new coping habits. One common approach involves identifying patterns of worry and testing them with small experiments to see what really happens; this helps reduce avoidance and fear. Another useful method focuses on improving communication and boundary setting to ease relationship strain and codependent patterns, teaching practical ways to speak up and manage reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Karen will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She will review options together, try interventions, and adjust plans based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules. Video calls let you maintain face-to-face interaction when that feels helpful. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a quicker check-in. Live chat and text messaging support shorter, on-the-go communication and can help carry work between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities while still working on stress, anxiety, and relationship challenges.
