About Kara
Kara Jakubec is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She brings five years of clinical counseling experience and aims to help people facing fear, uncertainty, and life transitions. Kara focuses on practical steps people can take to feel more in control and move forward.
Kara helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and trauma and abuse. She also supports those working through relationship or family tension, parenting struggles, career questions, eating concerns, intimacy-related issues, anger, and compassion fatigue.
How Kara works
She lists ADHD among areas she addresses. Her style centers on listening and helping each person name where they feel stuck. Sessions tend to focus on clarifying goals, breaking big problems into smaller steps, and building habits that support change.
She combines a person-centered stance with cognitive and reality approaches to make counseling concrete and goal-focused. Kara’s background includes experience in substance abuse counseling and work with parents navigating adolescent mental health challenges. That experience contributes to her practical approach to recovery, relapse prevention, and supporting caregivers as they manage hard moments.
People who prefer clear direction and collaborative planning may find her approach helpful. She works to create a straightforward path from problem identification to achievable steps and ongoing support.

How Kara Uses Evidence-Based Techniques Online
She describes using person-centered, cognitive, and reality-based methods to guide work in therapy. Person-centered work focuses on listening and helping the client identify their own goals and strengths. Cognitive techniques look at thoughts and beliefs that get in the way and teach ways to test and change unhelpful thinking. Reality-based approaches concentrate on practical choices and steps a person can take to move toward their goals.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kara will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend methods to try. Together they check progress and adjust the plan if something is not helping.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, notes between sessions, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people fit counseling into busy lives.
