About Kara
Kara focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, process grief and loss, rebuild self-esteem, and navigate depression and major life changes. Her work also addresses caregiver stress, feelings of isolation, social anxiety, and issues that commonly affect women. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tailor care to each person’s needs.
In session she creates a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and emotions can be explored openly. She partners with clients to set clear goals, develop practical coping skills, and build confidence over time. Kara approaches each relationship with empathy and steady support, helping clients identify strengths and small steps that foster meaningful progress.
She recognizes that beginning therapy requires courage and validates that first step toward change. She is not currently accepting clients.
Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathic space where the client’s perspectives guide the work. In this approach Kara listens closely, reflects what she hears, and supports clients in exploring values, choices, and personal strengths to build self-understanding and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies to change those patterns and improve mood and behavior. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and skills-based coping with life changes.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - Kara works with each person to determine which techniques and priorities fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts methods over time so the plan evolves as progress is made.
Online therapy with Kara can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care from home or another convenient setting, support ongoing connection between sessions, and allow clients to choose the format that best fits their day-to-day life.
