About Karina
Karina Rocha Vasquez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who speaks English and Spanish. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, addictions, grief, parenting concerns, ADHD, and other life changes. She focuses on practical, conversational therapy.
Sessions are shaped around what a person needs right now. Karina listens, offers steady feedback, and works with each person to set clear, manageable goals.
How Karina works
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide sessions. That means she often helps people notice unhelpful thinking, explore emotional patterns in relationships, and build short-term strategies that make day-to-day life easier.
Karina also supports people dealing with deeper issues such as trauma and abuse, family of origin concerns, attachment challenges, eating and body image struggles, and problems with communication or control. She tailors conversations and plans to fit each person’s story and immediate needs. With four years of professional experience, Karina emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every session.
She encourages small steps toward change and aims to empower people to regain confidence and clearer direction. To begin, people choose a session format and schedule that fits their life.

Online support options
Approaches that work well online
Karina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when working with people online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thinking that fuel anxiety or low mood and teaches practical tools to change those habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice emotional patterns in relationships and learn ways to express needs and respond to others more effectively.She treats the choice of approach as a collaboration. Together a person and Karina will talk about goals, try approaches that fit the concern, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The process is meant to feel flexible and responsive to personal needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can fit quick questions, ongoing coaching, or progress updates between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, school, or family life.
