About Kara
Kara Snodgrass is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 12 years of experience. She previously worked as a family support worker for five years, including in-home work with families, foster care, child protective services, substance abuse, and crisis situations. Kara lists stress, anxiety, parenting, relationship issues, anger, depression, ADHD, grief, and compassion fatigue among the concerns she addresses.
Kara uses a collaborative, client-centered style. She listens first and follows the client's lead while offering guidance when helpful. Sessions focus on practical steps - identifying patterns, learning coping skills, and trying small behavior changes between meetings.
Her toolkit includes cognitive behavioral work to target unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, dialectical behavior ideas for managing strong emotions, and solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals. Motivational interviewing is part of how she supports changes that feel doable. These methods are used as needed rather than as fixed rules.
Clients who want help with control issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, panic attacks, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, or women's issues may find relevant experience in her background. Kara's early career experience with reunification work and crisis interventions informs how she approaches complex family stressors.
She communicates in English and accepts international clients. Practical logistics, like messaging between sessions and the rhythm of check-ins, are part of how she arranges care. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. It helps people clarify what matters to them and decide what to try next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers practical tools for worry, panic attacks, and patterns that fuel anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kara will collaborate with clients to test methods and see what fits. She helps choose strategies based on the client's goals, current problems, and what feels workable day to day.

Many people use messaging or phone sessions for short check-ins, and these can be easier to fit into a busy schedule. Online work can make it simpler to have regular, brief contacts for emotion regulation practice and problem solving without needing long travel times.
