Karina Cooper, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Karina!

I utilize different therapeutic approaches to suit the needs of my clients, creating a personalized experience that honors where you are and what you need.

My focus

I usually work with teens and young adults as well as families, and can treat a variety of diagnoses, including Mood Disorders.

My approach

I tend to utilize different theoretical approaches to individualize therapeutic services. I tend to utilize CBT, DBT and BST.

My communication style

I am a calm and down-to-earth person who is client-centered and easy to talk to.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always found Psychology very interesting ever since Middle School. While I was attending SDSU as a Nursing Major, I fell more in love with Psychology, and I have always wanted to help others, so this career has been a good fit for me.

My goals for you

I like to work on collaborative goals with my clients to maximize our time together so that clients can get the most out of our sessions.

Our first session

I like to ask questions about hobbies and activities to get to know someone as well as provide psychoeducation to break the ice.
