Karishma Samaroo, LMHC

Karishma Samaroo is a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with nine years of professional experience. She works with adults who are carrying stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and feelings of guilt or shame. She also supports people facing addiction, co-occurring mental health concerns, and challenges tied to family and relationships.

Her approach starts with clear, practical conversations about what is happening now. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors that keep someone stuck. Motivational Interviewing helps when a person feels stuck or unsure about change. Psychodynamic ideas are used to notice patterns that repeat across relationships.

Sessions focus on understanding what led to hard feelings and finding small, doable changes. She talks through practical strategies for managing anxiety, mood, sleep, and cravings. She also helps people work through grief, loss, and complicated feelings tied to family history or past hurt.

Karishma describes problems plainly and looks for understandable causes behind them. She pays attention to how early attachments and family dynamics shape current habits and reactions. That background work is used alongside skills-based tools so people can try new ways of coping.

Her clients receive straightforward feedback, concrete exercises, and a plan to test changes between sessions. People who want to balance insight with practical steps may find this combination useful when dealing with guilt, shame, and related concerns.
