About Takara

Takara Whichard is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 13 years of clinical experience. She has supported clients across the lifespan, working with people as young as 3 through older adulthood at 80, and has addressed a wide range of concerns including ADHD, ODD, depressive disorders, anxiety, and traumatic experiences.

Her counseling style is pleasant and goal-oriented, centered on each individual client’s priorities and strengths. She believes that the capacity for change exists within everyone and that measurable progress is achieved by setting clear, realistic steps. In practice she blends cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing to create tailored treatment plans that reflect a client’s needs and preferences.

Takara takes a step-by-step approach to help clients move past obstacles and work through challenges, adjusting techniques as goals evolve. She aims to help people build practical skills and sustain meaningful change over time, and she looks forward to partnering with clients who are ready to begin that work.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Takara Whichard uses several well-established approaches to guide her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the client’s perspective and building a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship so clients can explore goals and make their own choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress through structured exercises and behavioral changes. Motivational Interviewing concentrates on enhancing a client’s own motivation to change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening commitment to personal goals.



Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Takara works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.



Online therapy offers practical benefits for clients with busy schedules or limited local options. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions provide a flexible alternative, and live chat or text-based messaging can support ongoing progress between appointments. These options increase accessibility and make it easier to maintain consistent care while accommodating different communication styles and life circumstances.
