About Karyn
Karyn Borrego is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arizona with seven years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and major life changes. Karyn describes her work as faith-informed and respectful of each person's beliefs.
She helps clients build clearer self-understanding and stronger coping skills. Sessions involve talking through painful experiences and learning practical ways to manage emotions and day-to-day stress. Karyn often supports people recovering from traumatic events and from sexual assault and abuse.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. These methods guide how she notices emotions, works on patterns, and practices new behaviors together with clients.
Karyn has particular experience assisting people dealing with relationship communication problems, codependency, control issues, and the emotional fallout of divorce and separation. She also addresses midlife shifts, geriatric concerns, and questions about life purpose.
Practical work in sessions can include grounding and mindfulness exercises, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, and practicing different ways of responding to strong feelings. People who come to her will find a collaborative clinician who incorporates their faith when it matters to them.
How Emotion-Focused and ACT work in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming difficult emotions and recognizing how those feelings shape behavior and relationships. It can help people who struggle to name what they feel and who want to shift repetitive emotional patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to accept hard thoughts and still move toward valued actions, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide whether EFT, ACT, or other methods fit best based on goals and preferences. That choice can be revisited as needs change during therapy.
The biography does not specify session delivery formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people try different ways of working with emotions and skills practice in everyday settings. Licensed professionals can adapt EFT and ACT techniques to remote sessions and will explain how each approach will be used when you schedule the first appointment.
