Karalyn Violeta

Karalyn Violeta, LCSW, is a compassionate and authentic clinical social worker who invites clients to bring their whole selves into therapy. With a warm and non-judgmental approach, she welcomes each individual into treatment, collaborating to uncover personal goals, strengths, and challenges. Specializing in managing depression, anxiety, personality disorders, and PTSD in both adolescents and adults, Karalyn has extensive experience working with clients in creative fields, including writers and visual or performing artists. She is particularly skilled in supporting individuals living with chronic pain and chronic health conditions and is known as an LGBTQ-affirming practitioner. Her practice is relational and trauma-informed, making it especially beneficial for those with a history of trauma in their families of origin. Through a feminist and existential lens, Karalyn guides clients in re-examining their personal narratives about freedom, interpersonal relationships, and the complex journey of being human. She believes that growth occurs—both spontaneously and incrementally—when individuals can release old patterns of behavior that no longer serve them. Karalyn equips her clients with concrete skills to manage anxiety, avoidant tendencies, negative thoughts, and distressing feelings, working collaboratively to identify, develop, and hone these essential skills.
