About Kara
Kara Snodgrass is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. She brings 12 years of experience to her practice and a background that began in family support work. Kara often helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and stress.
Kara learned her early skills doing in-home work with families and children. That work included involvement with foster care, child protective services, substance misuse, and crisis support.
Background and approach
She aims to draw on those practical experiences when helping people talk through current problems. Her style is collaborative and client-centered. She listens first and follows the client's lead, while offering gentle nudges or tools when they may help.
Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on steps that can fit into daily life. Kara uses a mix of approaches matched to each person. She may use cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking, solution-focused strategies for short-term goals, and dialectical skills for emotional regulation.
She also supports issues such as parenting strain, grief, anger, and compassion fatigue. She offers a range of session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Messaging can be used between sessions for day-to-day problem solving and check-ins.
Kara works with people who need practical tools and steady support while navigating anxiety and life's stresses.
Approaches that translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's goals and following their lead. Online sessions let the therapist listen closely and adapt pacing, tone, and techniques to what is most useful in the moment.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. In online work CBT can include worksheets, brief between-session exercises, and step-by-step planning to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive actions. In remote sessions Kara can coach distress tolerance and emotion regulation skills and support practice between meetings.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kara will discuss goals, past experiences, and preferences to decide which methods to use and will adjust the plan as needs change.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face work and shared materials, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat supports a focused back-and-forth, and text messaging lets people check in or get brief support between sessions. These options help therapy fit into busy days and different routines.
