About Kara

Kara Levine is a licensed clinical social worker in Louisiana who brings more than a decade of focused experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults through grief and trauma. She earned her Master of Social Work from Tulane University with a concentration in disaster mental health, a background that informs her work with families affected by sudden change and large-scale stressors. As an LCSW - a licensed clinical social worker - she uses evidence-based interventions to address the practical and emotional challenges that show up in day-to-day life.

Kara has worked closely with young people facing chronic and terminal illness and has seen how a single family member s illness can touch every household relationship. She approaches each client with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to meet individual needs. Her practice emphasizes collaboration - clients and therapist work together to set goals and measure progress.

Beginning therapy can require courage, and Kara acknowledges that first step while offering steady support throughout the process. Her aim is to help clients move toward living a more engaged and meaningful life by applying structured, research-informed techniques alongside empathic listening and practical problem solving.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Support

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is practical and structured, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is a trauma-focused approach that supports people in processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional intensity. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversational style that helps clients explore ambivalence and build motivation for change, useful for goals related to behavior change and coping.



Kara works collaboratively with each person to determine which approach or combination of approaches fits best. She considers a client s needs, goals, and preferences and adapts methods over time so treatment remains relevant and effective. The selection of techniques is part of the therapeutic process rather than a one-size-fits-all decision.



Online therapy with Kara offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Remote sessions make it easier to access licensed professionals from home, to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and to choose the communication style that feels most supportive for each client.
