About Karinna
Karinna Sanchez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and the ups and downs of parenting. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and use straightforward, compassionate conversation to figure out next steps.
Karinna starts by getting to know the person, then turns attention to the problem. She treats a diagnosis as a tool to guide what to address, not as the whole person.
Background and approach
Together with clients she sets clear goals and builds a plan to reduce distress and increase day-to-day coping. Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tackle social anxiety, isolation, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose. She also helps people manage common reactions after loss and major life changes.
The focus is practical - notice what’s not working and try small changes that add up. With three years of clinical experience, Karinna aims to create a calm, steady space for people to talk through difficult feelings. She offers several ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
This flexibility helps people fit therapy into a busy life. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to the listed process. Karinna emphasizes collaboration and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
How therapy approaches work online for anxiety and life change
Karinna uses straightforward, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anxiety, grief, and stress. One common approach focuses on identifying patterns that keep anxiety going and practicing small behavior changes to reduce worry and avoidance. This method helps with social anxiety, phobias, and day-to-day anxious thoughts.Another approach centers on processing loss and strong emotions by naming feelings, noticing how they show up in the body, and developing coping steps for hard moments. That work is useful for grief, guilt, shame, and finding direction after a life change.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and needs, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust the plan over time. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques feel useful and which to change.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules. Video calls let you meet face to face when deeper conversation is helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Live chat and text messaging let you check in between sessions or use brief, focused support when needed. These options make it easier to keep steady progress while balancing daily life.
