About Cara
Cara Tuley is an Ohio LPCC with 33 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and anger. Cara also supports people facing relationship problems, parenting strain, addictions, ADHD, and career or life changes.
She uses practical, evidence-informed methods in sessions. Cara relies on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot patterns of thinking and behavior that fuel anger or anxiety. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas and mindfulness skills to help people notice difficult feelings without getting swept up in them.
Cara has worked with people across Ohio and in other states, and she now meets with clients internationally. She describes herself as open and accepting and aims to avoid judgment while clients talk through what’s happening in their lives. Sessions focus on measurable changes and clearer daily routines.
In practice she blends client-centered listening with hands-on skills training. That means time is spent both on understanding what led to problems and on practicing new responses. For someone snapping at partners or feeling simmering resentment at work, this can include breathing and grounding, cognitive reframes, and step-by-step behavior changes.
Pricing varies by location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To start a relationship clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate behavior. It emphasizes values-guided action so someone frustrated at work or home can act in line with what matters to them rather than react automatically.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. For anger this can mean tracking triggers, practicing alternative responses, and trying short behavioral experiments to see what changes mood and conflict levels.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce emotional escalation. These skills support the other approaches by creating space to choose a response rather than reacting on impulse.
Choosing the best mix is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as sessions progress.
