Kara Anglin, LCSW - Therapist in Florida

About Kara

Kara Anglin is a licensed clinical social worker who uses a compassionate, client-centered approach to help people through stressful times. She focuses on practical steps to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and handle relationship and family strain. Sessions are meant to be straightforward and paced to each person’s needs.

Her work often centers on parenting and family concerns, including blended family issues and communication problems. She also addresses workplace stress, career questions, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

Immigration and multicultural matters are part of her practice as well. Kara blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness tools to give people skills they can use between sessions. She helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, practice grounding and breathing, and try new behaviors to improve relationships and mood.

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas guide goal-setting and small, manageable changes. With six years of experience as an LCSW - licensed clinical social worker - she aims for clear, practical therapy rather than jargon. People can expect an initial session that reviews what brought them in and what they'd like to change.

Follow-up sessions focus on skill-building and checking in on progress. Kara practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. She offers several online formats to fit different schedules, and works with adults seeking help for life transitions, parenting, family strain, or anxiety and depression.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting support

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s priorities. The therapist follows the client’s lead, creating a space to decide goals and the pace of change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and teaches practical steps to shift them, which helps with anxiety, low mood, and relationship patterns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. It includes techniques for distress tolerance and for keeping relationships more balanced. These approaches are used together to build concrete skills clients can practice between sessions and to support parenting and family work when needed.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, current struggles, and preferences and then try approaches that fit. This is a collaborative decision, and methods can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule around parenting duties, work, or school. Remote sessions let people use skills in real life and return to discuss what worked and what didn’t, keeping therapy practical and reachable.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
