Karishma Samaroo

Karishma Samaroo is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She works with adults who are struggling with motivation, confidence, and the emotional fallout of trauma and abuse. Karishma also has experience supporting people dealing with addiction and co-occurring mental health concerns.

Her style centers on identifying the root of difficult feelings. She uses clear, practical conversation to track how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. That can make it easier to try new ways of coping and to notice small changes that matter.

Karishma draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to map connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. She also uses motivational interviewing to support change and psychodynamic ideas to look at longer-standing patterns that affect relationships and self-image. These tools are used together to match what each person needs in a session.

With nine years of overall experience, she has worked with adults facing addiction, mental health issues, and layered stressors. Her New York license is listed as LMHC, which reflects her clinical role in that state.

Sessions are offered in English. Prospective clients are encouraged to follow the site process to complete intake information and schedule a first appointment so they can discuss goals and decide on a path forward.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Karishma commonly uses cognitive behavioral ideas and motivational interviewing in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going and testing new responses to change symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversation style that helps strengthen a person's own motivation to make changes, often useful when someone feels stuck or ambivalent.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That discussion is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins between in-person visits, or reduce travel time. It can also let people continue therapy while balancing work, medical care, or caregiving responsibilities. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and motivational interviewing techniques to suit remote conversations and practical goal-setting.
