About Karina
Karina Rocha Vasquez helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, low self-esteem, and the exhaustion that comes with compassion fatigue. She also supports those facing grief, addiction concerns, parenting challenges, ADHD, and major life changes. Karina is fluent in Spanish and practices as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - in Texas.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Emotionally-Focused ideas are used when emotions and connection get in the way of feeling better. Karina adapts conversations and plans to each person's needs.
She listens with respect and aims to make space for what matters to the client. Progress is measured in small, achievable changes rather than big promises. With four years of professional experience, she draws on brief, solution-oriented techniques when people want quick, focused help.
At the same time she will slow down to work through deeper issues like attachment, abandonment, trauma, and family of origin concerns when needed. Spanish speakers can meet with her in their preferred language. People across Texas and other states may connect for remote sessions using video, phone, chat, or messaging.
She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin scheduling.
How her approaches translate to online work
Karina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be practiced in between sessions through exercises and short assignments. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people recognize and respond to strong feelings that affect relationships and self-worth, making it useful for issues like attachment, grief, and family of origin concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying concrete goals and small steps forward, which is well suited to short-term online work.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Karina will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide whether to focus on short-term problem solving, deeper emotional work, or a mix of both, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is often used for full conversations and emotional work, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or times when a written format feels easier. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical steps and tangible progress.
