01About Karen
Karen Schwartz Triana helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family problems, and struggles with self-esteem or addictions. She is comfortable addressing parenting concerns, grief, intimacy issues, ADHD, and workplace or career challenges. Karen holds MD, LCPC, and LMHC credentials and has 14 years of experience in counseling adults.
Her approach is down-to-earth and goal focused. Sessions start by identifying a few clear, achievable goals. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work to build practical steps people can try between sessions.
Background and approach
Karen values open conversation. She asks clients to reflect at the end of each visit so progress is visible and adjustments are easier to make. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when people want to strengthen commitment to change.
Narrative therapy ideas also appear in her work, helping people reframe personal stories that keep them stuck. The therapist adapts methods to match each person's needs rather than following a fixed script. Clients can expect a steady, supportive style that mixes talking, problem-solving, and small skill-building exercises.
The focus is on next steps and practical change. Karen aims to help people make measurable progress one session at a time.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches and remote care options
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers a nonjudgmental space and follows the client's priorities, which helps when someone needs support sorting feelings or making decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns and build coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress.
Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what matters to them and increases willingness to change. It is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about committing to new habits.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process means plans can be adjusted over time as needs change.
Online therapy offers flexibility and several ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break in the day. Live chat or text-based messaging can work for brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep consistent momentum and find a rhythm that fits everyday life.
