About Kara

Kara Snodgrass is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She has 12 years of experience working in mental health and family support roles. Kara draws on prior in-home family work and years of direct counseling to guide parents and caregivers through practical challenges.

She focuses on family and parenting concerns as well as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and self-esteem. She also addresses ADHD, anger, relationship strains, compassion fatigue, and pregnancy and childbirth issues.

Background and approach

Additional areas of attention include control issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, panic attacks, and women’s issues. Kara uses a collaborative, client-centered style. She listens first and follows the client’s lead while offering gentle guidance when needed.

She adapts methods to each situation rather than relying on a single technique. Her toolbox includes cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, along with motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies. In sessions she helps parents find concrete steps, practice new ways to respond, and set manageable goals for home life.

Kara’s background in family support informs her practical approach to parenting and reunification goals. She aims to make therapy feel usable for busy families. Conversations are straightforward and focused on daily life, problem solving, and steady progress.

Approaches that translate well to online family care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. It centers the parent or caregiver’s priorities and supports them in finding their own solutions, which is useful for family and parenting concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, panic, and mood challenges because it offers step-by-step strategies to try between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides tools for emotional regulation and managing strong reactions. It can be helpful for impulsivity, anger, and intense emotional moments that affect family interactions.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit the situation, and adjust the plan as needed. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to use and when to change course.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy parents and caregivers. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging make it easier to check in between appointments and handle quick concerns. These formats help families fit therapy into their routine and keep progress moving forward.

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.
