Getting to know Karina Lopez

Hi there, I'm Karina! My name is Karina Renee Lopez, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Fresno, CA. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Fresno. I work with adults in a variety of areas, primarily stress, depression, and anxiety, using Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. My approach I meet the client where they’re at—mentally and emotionally. Therefore, my approach to therapy varies based on the needs of the client. Most often, I use Mindfulness Techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. My focus I typically work with young adults and adults who may be dealing with an array of life challenges. This often takes the form of anxiety, depression, and stress. I help guide clients through these challenges by reconstructing their thought patterns and helping build their coping skills. Ultimately, my goal is for clients to feel better and learn how to better adapt. My communication style My communication style consists of active listening, being supportive, empathetic, and respectful. I pride myself on creating a safe space where my clients feel comfortable openly sharing their thoughts and emotions without feeling judged or belittled. My journey to mental healthcare As an LCSW, I have the privilege of utilizing my knowledge and skills to help improve the quality of life for individuals faced with mental health issues and social challenges in a variety of settings. Life doesn’t get easier, but I believe in empowering people to find their voice as they advocate for themselves to improve their life circumstances independently. My goals for you Goal setting with clients starts by working together to help define what you wish to accomplish with your time in therapy. This is often achieved by building trust, determining your readiness for change, collaborating to set achievable goals, and tracking progress.
