About Karinna
Karinna Sanchez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people untangle stress, anxiety, grief, and parenting strain. She uses plain talk to get to know each person first, and then together they look at the problems that brought them in.
Karinna spends the first sessions building a picture of what a person is facing and which symptoms are most disruptive. She treats diagnosis as a tool - a guide to possible interventions rather than a fixed label. This makes room for practical goals that fit each person's life.
Her approach focuses on identifying behaviors and patterns that are no longer helpful. She works with clients to set realistic steps and a plan to reduce distress. Sessions emphasize self-understanding, day-to-day coping, and actions people can try between meetings.
Karinna has three years of clinical experience in California. She has helped people navigate depression, life changes, social anxiety, feelings of isolation, and struggles with guilt or shame. She also supports people working through forgiveness and questions about purpose.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Karinna aims for a collaborative tone in therapy, where the client’s goals shape the pace and focus. To begin, she asks people to describe what matters most and then co-creates a plan to move forward.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Karinna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear problems and practical steps. One common approach emphasizes tracking symptoms and patterns to spot what keeps stress and anxiety going, then testing small changes to reduce those symptoms. This kind of work helps with daily worry, social anxiety, and low mood.Another approach centers on identifying values and purpose, and then setting achievable goals that reflect those priorities. That method can help people feeling stuck, dealing with guilt or shame, or searching for direction after life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Karinna will work together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in as work progresses and adjusts plans based on what is or isn't helping.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current offerings before booking. In general, online work can make fitting therapy into a busy week easier, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time that interrupts the day. Licensed professionals can use these benefits to help people build steady habits and try small changes between sessions.
