About Kara
Kara Anglin is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, person-centered care. She uses a calm, direct style to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. Kara aims to create a space where people feel heard and can start making small changes that matter.
In the first meeting she spends time understanding what brought someone in and what they want to get out of therapy.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and paced to match each person's comfort level. That initial talk helps shape a clear plan for what to work on next. Kara blends client-centered listening with goal-focused tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and skills from dialectical behavior therapy.
She also brings mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing into sessions when helpful. These methods are used to address worries, mood problems, communication issues, and the practical demands of parenting. Her background includes six years of practice as a licensed clinical social worker in Florida.
That experience supports work on family-of-origin issues, blended family adjustments, multicultural and immigration concerns, and workplace or school stress. Kara pays attention to how life roles and relationships affect daily coping. People often come for help managing panic or social anxiety, recovering from domestic violence, or navigating career and young adult transitions.
Sessions may include short skill-building exercises, problem-solving, and planning for concrete next steps. The focus is on usable strategies and steady progress.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy centers the person's own goals and preferences, focusing on active listening and collaborative planning to help people make changes that feel right for them. It is useful when someone needs a supportive, nonjudgmental space to sort priorities and build confidence.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is a practical method that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It often involves short exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking, which can help with anxiety, depression, and parenting stress.
Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. Those skills can be useful for preventing overwhelming reactions, improving relationships, and handling conflict in daily life.
Kara approaches finding the right method as a team effort. She will discuss a client's concerns, goals, and preferences and recommend approaches that match those needs. That collaborative process can combine listening, skill practice, and goal-setting to find what works best.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
