About Kara
Kara Snodgrass is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with twelve years of experience supporting people through a range of life challenges.
Background and approach
She began her career as a family support worker, providing in-home services that included work with child protective services, foster care, substance abuse, and crisis response aimed at reunification when possible. That background informs a practical, grounded approach to therapy that draws on a variety of interventions to meet each person’s needs.
Her style is collaborative and client-centered, emphasizing empathy and respect for each person’s pace and priorities. Kara often uses cognitive behavioral techniques alongside DBT-informed strategies and solution-focused methods to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, parenting and relationship difficulties, and issues around impulse control, guilt, and shame.
She offers flexible formats including messaging, live chat, phone sessions, and video to fit different rhythms of life, and accepts international clients who prefer online care. Kara aims to work alongside clients rather than direct them, offering gentle guidance when useful while following the client’s lead.
She welcomes initial messages to discuss availability and how her experience might align with a client’s goals.
Practical Approaches for Online Therapy
CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and panic; it offers concrete strategies such as behavioral experiments and thought reframing that are useful for stress, worry, and depressive symptoms. Client-centered therapy emphasizes active listening, empathy, and collaboration so clients can explore their goals and build self-directed coping; it supports people working through grief, relationship concerns, parenting stress, and self-esteem issues by prioritizing the client’s perspective.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kara will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past to shape a plan that blends techniques when appropriate. That shared decision-making lets therapeutic tools be adjusted over time to better fit changing needs and priorities.
Online therapy with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging can make regular contact more feasible for busy schedules and for those who prefer remote care. These formats allow flexibility in frequency and mode of contact, making it easier to use CBT exercises, DBT skills practice, or solution-focused check-ins without traveling to an office.
