About Kara
Kara Snodgrass is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She brings 12 years of experience in counseling and earlier work supporting families in their homes. Kara aims to create a calm space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, parenting strain, grief, ADHD concerns, and relationship struggles.
Kara previously worked as a family support worker, doing in-home visits and crisis work with families, foster care, and child protective services. That background shaped a practical, down-to-earth style. She listens, follows the person's lead, and offers suggestions when they might help.
Her approach centers on the person in front of her. She uses client-centered methods and borrows techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing to help people notice patterns and try small changes. She also draws on elements of dialectical behavior therapy and solution-focused work when those fit the situation.
Sessions focus on real problems and achievable steps. Kara helps people manage panic, control issues, guilt and shame, and compassion fatigue, and she supports those navigating pregnancy, childbirth, and women’s issues. She also helps with anger, impulsivity, and issues around forgiveness.
Kara offers care in English and accepts international clients. She asks new people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions through the Start Therapy flow. The subscription model she uses can be canceled at any time.

How Kara's approaches shape online therapy
Motivational interviewing helps people clarify what matters to them and find internal reasons to change; it uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead so they feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behavior patterns and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage panic, or change unhelpful responses.
Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. Kara will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She may suggest a mix of talking, short exercises, or goal-focused steps, and she adjusts as progress unfolds.
Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy life because they reduce travel and can be scheduled around work or childcare. Before booking, confirm which session formats are currently offered since options are not listed here. Online work can support regular check-ins, message-driven problem-solving, and focused conversation that help translate therapeutic tools into daily routines. -
