Karina Rocha Vasquez, LPC

Karina Rocha Vasquez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and low self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, addictions, and life changes. Karina speaks English and Spanish and has four years of professional experience.

Her sessions are conversational and focused on practical steps. She listens first to understand what matters most to each person. From there she and the client set small goals and try strategies that fit day-to-day life. Progress is paced to what feels doable for the client.

Karina uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to improve emotional connection and Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals. These methods are mixed to match each person's problem and preferences.

She works with a wide range of concerns including parenting stress, ADHD, body image, communication problems, and family of origin issues. Karina aims to make therapy a space where people feel respected and heard, while learning tools to cope and move forward.

New clients begin by describing their main concern and what they hope to change. Sessions aim to build practical skills that transfer to daily life and help reduce overwhelming feelings over time.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Karina blends practical, evidence-based methods to help people make changes that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep problems stuck; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on recognizing and expressing emotions to improve emotional connection and reduce distress in relationships. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes concrete, short-term goals and small steps that build momentum toward change.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Karina will discuss your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together you can try one method or combine techniques until you find what fits your needs and pace.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, homework prompts, or when messaging fits a busy schedule. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other demands.
