After my first session she was someone that I felt would be able to assist me in the areas I have been battling for years. Very down to earth and easy to talk to. Took the time to listen and pinpoint things that can help to address my needs.

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.

Overall rating:
Kara is amazing! She speaks my language. I appreciate her timely advice and her patience.
After my first session she was someone that I felt would be able to assist me in the areas I have been battling for years. Very down to earth and easy to talk to. Took the time to listen and pinpoint things that can help to address my needs.
Don’t feel like I’m necessarily talking with a counselor. She lets me vent and understands my dark sense of humor and sarcasm.
Great therapist! Listens and creates realistic goals!
Kara is very comforting, I was very scared to start therapy but she made me feel so relaxed and at ease! She is really great at giving me strategies to help me work through anxiety and working with her has been great!
Kara was excellent at making me feel comfortable in telling her what I was going through. She had a lot of great tactics to share that really helped manage my anxiety. I appreciate all her help!
