- LCSW
My name is Kara, and I am licensed clinical social worker in Louisiana. I graduated from Tulane University with my Masters in Social Work with a concentration in disaster mental health. I am privileged that you would consider me to be your therapist. Over the past decade, my area of focus has been working with children, adolescents, adults dealing with grief and trauma. I have also had the unique privilege to help with children with chronic and terminal illness cope with their diseases. An illness in one family member impacts all family members, I utilize evidence-based interventions to help you deal with whatever is causing issues in your day-to-day life. We live this life once, and I want to help you get back to living your best life. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! This is a team effort, and together, I hope we can make an impactful difference.

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.
