More about Cara

Hello, I'm Cara and I have practiced counseling for over 10 years. I have worked with those battling addiction, adults and adolescents who struggle with depression, anxiety and conflict resolution. I have experience working with adolescents, families, couples and individuals. My experiences include working in outpatient, residential and in-home counseling settings.
I believe in listening to what the client needs and at the same time challenging them. I feel the way to do this is building a good rapport and to have open communication. I use more of a client based approach but am open to adjusting to what the client needs. There is a stigma around mental health which I feel needs to change. I believe every individual should seek counseling if they feel they need help and there should be no shame attached to receiving counseling services.
I look forward to helping those who are looking to take the steps to better themselves.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Cara is great - definitely would recommend her :)
Cara has helped me through this difficult time. She is caring and prepares well before our phone calls. I find her very easy to talk to. Even personal things. She has been a wonderful person to talk to.
From the first phone meeting I felt very comfortable. Cara has listened to me and has been helpful in her guidance. She has a lot of insight and let’s me express my feelings by asking “the right questions”.
Cara has been wonderful. She cares and is a great fit for me
Very good listener, very experienced, good at giving homework, advice, and ideas
I really like Cara. She’s an excellent listener and I found her to be very helpful in my time of need.
Working with Cara has been a wonderful experience. She takes the time to listen and hear me out and then offers me practical advice on how to work through my challenges. My sessions with Cara have been an absolute life-changer!
I have teo Tinder profiles, but my best match of the year is with my therapist Cara on Better Help app. Since the very first session I am continuously inspired by her support and ideas helping me to make small steps to my personal well-being and now it is hard to imagine my life without it. Thank you!
Cara is very understanding and a good listener. She tries to give a more positive perspective on things which I find very helpful. Thanks Cara
