S. Karina Carnall, LPC

My background as a classroom teacher and family and school social worker continues to shape how I approach therapy. I value meeting each person where they are and delivering care in ways that feel meaningful, practical, and developmentally appropriate. Whether that means using games and art with younger clients or more traditional talk therapy with adolescents and adults, my goal is to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and engaged in the process.

I encourage even my youngest clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behavior patterns in creative and age-appropriate ways while practicing new skills. In addition, I help individuals and families reduce unwanted symptoms, build confidence through psychoeducation, and strengthen the connection between mind and body.

Beyond traditional therapy, I incorporate Cornerstone's wellness program into my work, helping clients better understand how lifestyle, stress, and body systems impact emotional health. This may include wellness evaluations and heart rate variability, or HRV, to support nervous system regulation. Together, we use this information to build practical, personalized strategies that strengthen both mental and physical well-being.

This integrated approach allows clients to not only talk through challenges, but also understand and influence how their body responds to stress in everyday life. Christian or Catholic-focused care, as well as therapy in Spanish, is also available upon request.
