About Maureen
Maureen Karol is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 21 years of practice. She has worked in community mental health and private practice, and brings experience from mobile crisis, substance use work, individual therapy, couples and family therapy, and clinical supervision for licensure. Maureen lists life purpose among her focus areas and commonly helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and mood concerns.
Maureen aims to make complex problems feel manageable. She breaks larger worries into small, concrete steps so decisions feel clearer. When emotion makes a problem seem out of scale, she helps people look at the facts and separate feelings from the next practical step.
Sessions are conversational and task-focused. She uses straightforward methods to identify goals, test small changes, and track progress. Humor is used at times to ease tension and keep conversations grounded.
Her stated approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. This means sessions may involve noticing thought patterns, clarifying motivation for change, and building quick, practical strategies that fit daily life.
Maureen has experience with addictions, bipolar and mood disorders, LGBTQ concerns, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and communication problems. She also lists coaching and life purpose work for people who are asking what comes next after a job, relationship, or health change.

How Maureen uses practical approaches in online work
Maureen commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in session. CBT looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions, and then tests small changes to thinking and behavior to reduce stress or anxiety. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person’s own reasons for change and helps build the confidence to try new steps.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify immediate, realistic goals and to practice brief, concrete strategies that can be tried between sessions. The aim is collaborative - the therapist and client work together to find which methods fit the client’s goals and daily life.
Session options are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current online formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use video or audio depending on bandwidth and comfort. The therapist will discuss which meeting style best supports your goals and day-to-day schedule.
