About Kara
Kara integrates evidence-informed methods, emphasizing the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while drawing on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when helpful. She also offers sex-specific support to explore healthy boundaries, intimacy, and sexuality, and she attends to how a person’s environment shapes mental wellness and daily functioning. Her practice includes care for anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping concerns, parenting and relationship struggles, self-esteem issues, and compassion fatigue, among other challenges.
In addition to her LICSW credential, Kara is a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist, a background that augments her ability to incorporate activity-based and experiential strategies when appropriate. She aims to meet clients where they are, using an integrative framework tailored to each person’s needs, goals, and values.
Integrative Approaches for Online Therapeutic Care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist supports a person’s self-directed growth and decision making. This approach can help with self-esteem, life transitions, and strengthening relational skills.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. It uses practical strategies and skill-building to address anxiety, depression, and daily coping challenges by helping clients reframe thinking and try new behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It is particularly useful for managing intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship conflicts, and it can be woven into broader treatment plans.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and a licensed professional will work collaboratively with each person to select methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Online therapy makes that collaboration more accessible by offering flexible ways to connect. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow people to schedule care around work, family, and location, and to choose the format that feels most comfortable for them while working with therapists trained in these approaches.
