About Kara
Kara Snodgrass is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She brings 12 years of experience in behavioral health and offers a calm, practical style for people facing stress and anxiety. Kara focuses on helping individuals manage emotions and day-to-day problems with steady, straightforward support.
Before becoming a counselor she worked in family support, including in-home visits and crisis work. That background shaped her ability to handle messy, real-life situations like parenting strain, substance-related concerns, and child welfare involvement.
How Kara works
Those experiences inform how she listens and responds now in therapy. Kara uses a client-centered approach and adapts techniques to each person. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and solution-focused strategies to match what a person needs.
Sessions often involve practical steps, skill practice, and checking what worked between meetings. She helps with a wide range of concerns including grief, relationship trouble, low self-esteem, anger, compassion fatigue, ADHD, panic attacks, pregnancy and childbirth issues, and women’s health topics. Kara also supports people dealing with control issues, guilt and shame, forgiveness work, and impulsivity.
Kara aims for collaboration in each session. She listens first, then offers tools and small experiments people can try between meetings. Her tone is empathetic and direct, with an emphasis on usable steps rather than long talks about the past.
Sessions are available in English and she accepts international clients. Therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

How Kara’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental listener and wants pacing that respects their comfort level. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and reducing impulsive behaviors.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Kara will talk with a person about their goals, try a method, and adjust based on what helps. She combines approaches when that better fits a person’s needs and checks in regularly to see how the work is going.
Online therapy gives flexibility for different life rhythms. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared screen work for worksheets or skill practice. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera time is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions and use shorter, focused exchanges for day-to-day emotion regulation. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage sudden moments of stress, and practice skills in real time.
