About Kara
Kara Snodgrass is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 12 years of experience. She works with people who report stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, relationship strain, grief, and issues around self-esteem and ADHD. Kara also addresses anger, compassion fatigue, and women's issues.
Kara draws on a client-centered stance and uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as one of her main tools. She combines structured skill work with practical conversations. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of responding in daily life.
Her background includes five years as a family support worker and extensive in-home work with families and children. That work involved child protective services, foster care, substance use concerns, and crisis support aimed at reunification when possible. Those experiences shape how she approaches parenting and family-related problems.
Kara tends to be collaborative in session. She follows the person's lead while offering nudges toward skills and experiments when appropriate. That can mean practicing grounding tools, planning small behavioral steps, or trying changes in communication.
People commonly bring panic attacks, control issues, guilt and shame, impulsivity, pregnancy or childbirth concerns, and forgiveness work. Kara also integrates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and solution-focused strategies when they fit the situation.
She provides care in English and accepts clients internationally. Before booking, clients should confirm the current session formats offered.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. In online sessions this often looks like setting clear practice tasks between meetings and reviewing how those experiments went. It is useful for anxiety, panic attacks, low mood, and patterns that keep repeating. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's concerns. Online conversations use open questions and reflective responses so the person leads the topics while the therapist clarifies and summarizes what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs space to sort thoughts and decide next steps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, brings concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. In virtual work this can mean practicing grounding techniques during a session and creating short skill plans to try during the week. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then recommend CBT tasks, DBT skills, or client-centered conversation as appropriate. That decision is collaborative and may change as needs evolve. Confirm the exact session formats offered before scheduling, as the biography did not list them in full detail. Online therapy can make it easier to fit work into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let someone join from a quieter place when that helps focus. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to the online setting so sessions remain practical and structured.Areas of expertise
