More about Kara
- 8 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
My name is Kara and I am so excited for the opportunity to work with you! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Tennessee. I have 7 years of experience working with a variety of individuals experiencing concerns such as substance abuse, depression, anxiety, self esteem, life changes and transitions, and relationship challenges. I have also worked with many people who have experienced domestic violence, trauma, and acute crisis.
I use a wide variety of approaches with clients, all of which come down to being client centered. I tailor my approach to each person I work with, using primarily a combination of elements of EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I am always growing, learning, and adapting my approaches to be the best therapist that I can be.
It has taken so much courage to even get to this point in your journey of self improvement and discovery, applaud yourself for that! The idea of going to therapy can be scary and it keeps a lot of people away. I like to think of going to therapy as a scheduled time in your week to invest in yourself - it doesn't mean that something is wrong with you. Rather, coming to therapy means something is RIGHT with you. You are taking control of your life, admitting that things could be going better, and making steps to achieve your goals. It's okay if you don't know where to start - we can figure it out together. I hope to walk with you and empower you on your new journey.
I am looking forward to getting to know you!

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.

Kara is wonderful. She listens to my needs and concerns and helps me find useful and effective ways for me to navigate those needs. She is detailed and organized for our session, each time.
Kara is an amazing listener and has brought me so much validation in my thinking. After every session she gives me achievable goals to reach towards for the next session. I appreciate her time & kindness. Therapy with her has been one of the best decision i have made for myself. Thank you Kara.
Kara was an amazing therapist! She understood I had limited time to work with her before I moved out of state and still wanted to see me! We had several sessions where we set some short term and long term goals that will help me whenever I end up finding a new therapist where I’m moving. She was so kind and supportive, and I would recommend her to anyone at any stage of their therapy journey.
Listens and offers excellent, doable advise. Very helpful!
I have been working with Kara for months now and have really enjoyed it. I was very nervous about starting therapy and she helped ease my concerns and made me feel comfortable and heard.
Kara is a fantastic therapist from every angle. She's a great listener and provides excellent feedback. She helps me brainstorm new ways to take care of myself and is always open and non-judgmental. My experience with Kara has been so amazing that I often recommend betterhelp to friends and colleagues.
I’ve never had a ‘therapist’ before and I was a bit nervous that I wouldn’t match up with anyone. It’s amazing that we crossed paths. So far so great.
Starting therapy was outside my comfort zone, and Kara has made me feel very at ease in my therapy journey.
Kara has been so helpful in processing life events and helping point out then guide through different areas of problems!
Kara is very accepting and very helpful. I’m 100% happy with my therapy sessions with her.
She takes her time to listen and truly just help her clients with what they bring to her. Atleast, in my personal experience with her. She is awesome.
