Kara Anglin, LCSW

Kara Anglin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who provides compassionate, strengths-focused therapy for people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, school or family stress, and the everyday pressures of life. She centers her work on helping clients uncover their personal resources and build practical clarity, balance, and confidence as they move forward. Kara guides each person at their own pace, offering steady, empathetic support while exploring where they are now, what they want, and realistic steps to reach those goals.

In a first session she takes time to learn about what brought someone to therapy, checks in on how they are feeling that day, and discusses the kinds of support or insight they hope to receive. The conversation is relaxed and nonpressured, allowing space for uncertainty while beginning to identify priorities and next steps. Kara walks alongside clients through problem solving, coping skill development, relationship work, and self-esteem growth, adapting the pace and focus to match each person’s needs and goals.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support and Growth

Kara utilizes client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where the client’s goals and values guide the work. This approach emphasizes empathy and collaboration and is particularly helpful for building self-esteem, strengthening confidence, and clarifying personal priorities.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more effective strategies. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, panic symptoms, and many everyday challenges.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is another tool Kara employs to teach skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques can be especially useful for people who want better emotional regulation and healthier relationship patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kara works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to access support from different locations. Licensed professionals can provide consistent, accessible help through these formats, allowing clients to engage in therapy in the way that feels most manageable for them.
