About Karyn
Karyn Borrego is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona who focuses on Motivational Interviewing alongside several evidence-based methods to help people move forward. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and life transitions. Her manner is compassionate and straightforward, and she includes clients' spiritual views when they matter to them.
Karyn aims to help people understand themselves better and build practical ways to cope. Sessions often include learning skills for managing intense emotions, trying small behavior changes, and practicing ways to respond differently in stressful moments. She uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support those goals.
She has seven years of clinical experience and draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and client-centered principles to make therapy collaborative and respectful. That means conversations are guided by each person’s priorities and pace, not a fixed agenda. Karyn will also integrate Motivational Interviewing techniques to help when people feel stuck or ambivalent about change.
Many people come to address panic, post-traumatic stress, codependency, relationship communication, or the strain of major life changes like divorce and midlife shifts. She also supports clients facing aging and geriatric issues and the emotional aftermath of sexual assault and domestic violence.
Karyn encourages practical steps between sessions and works with each person to set realistic goals. To begin, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details when they are ready to book.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care
Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people resolve mixed feelings about change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to strengthen motivation and make choices feel manageable. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck on them, and then take steps toward what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Karyn will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative rather than prescriptive.
Confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins, avoid travel time, or use less bandwidth when needed. Many people find remote sessions help them stay consistent and apply skills in real life between meetings, while still working with a licensed professional to tailor the approach to their situation. -
