About Karyn
Karyn Borrego is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona who focuses on anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, grief, and life transitions. She uses practical, person-centered methods to help people manage overwhelming feelings and take small steps toward calmer days. Karyn blends several therapeutic approaches to match each person's needs.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and build different habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and make choices that fit the life they want.
Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and reducing crisis moments. Her work often looks at patterns that keep problems repeating, such as control issues, codependency, and communication breakdowns. She also supports people facing major changes like divorce, midlife shifts, aging concerns, or the aftermath of abuse and assault.
Sessions include talking through current struggles, practicing new coping skills, and setting realistic goals. Karyn describes her approach as collaborative and respectful. She helps people notice strengths they already have and uses simple exercises to build on them.
Therapy moves at a steady pace and focuses on what matters most to the person in front of her. With seven years of experience, Karyn balances practical tools with gentle support. People can expect straightforward conversation, skill-building, and openness to each person’s background and values.
Approach-focused care delivered online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take actions that match those values. It is useful when anxiety, avoidance, or change keep someone stuck and they want clearer direction for daily choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and the behaviors that follow. It teaches simple exercises to test thoughts, change patterns, and reduce symptoms like panic or persistent worry. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. Those tools can be especially helpful when feelings feel intense or when past trauma makes coping harder. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, life demands, and current struggles to decide which methods to try. Clients and the therapist adjust the plan over time so it fits daily life and real priorities. Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy accessible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging offer short, flexible ways to touch base between longer sessions. These options give practical flexibility for scheduling, work breaks, or when travel makes in-person sessions difficult.Questions people ask
