About Karen
Karen Marconi is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 13 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, mood concerns, and ADHD. She also supports those dealing with relationship strains, grief, trauma, and life transitions.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She begins by listening closely to what matters most to each person and then shapes sessions around practical steps. People can expect a focus on strengths and small, doable changes rather than long lectures.
Background and approach
Karen uses a mix of approaches depending on the situation. She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses client-centered methods that follow the client's priorities, and motivational interviewing to build readiness for change.
Sessions move at a pace set by the client. Conversations often include goal-setting, skill practice, and reflection on what worked between meetings. Karen emphasizes building momentum so progress feels tangible over time.
Clients who struggle with addictions or compulsive behaviors can work on motivation and concrete plans for safer choices. Those with ADHD often focus on routines, organization strategies, and reducing overwhelm. Throughout, she treats each person as the expert of their own story and supports them in finding solutions that fit their life.
Approaches and how online work supports change
This therapist uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her online practice. Client-centered work means sessions follow what the person says matters most, with the therapist listening and reflecting so goals come from the client. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and practicing new ways of responding to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.She may also use motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and build commitment. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then tailor methods to fit the client’s needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can work for quick check-ins, and text messaging helps keep momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to use the format that best supports each person's routine and comfort.
