Kara Anglin, LCSW

Kara Anglin is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and major life changes. She supports people who are dealing with depression, parenting challenges, career stress, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Her approach aims to build clarity and confidence one step at a time.

Kara begins by listening closely to what brought someone into therapy. Early sessions are a relaxed conversation about current concerns and goals. She checks in on how a person is feeling that day and looks for practical next steps that fit the client’s pace.

She uses client-centered methods to keep the work focused on each person’s strengths. Cognitive behavioral tools help identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Dialectical behavior strategies and mindfulness practices are used when emotions feel overwhelming and when grounding skills are needed.

Kara also draws on motivational interviewing to help people clarify what they want and find the motivation to make changes. That can be useful for career shifts, parenting changes, or managing stress during transitions. She pays attention to cultural and immigration-related concerns when they are part of the story.

With six years of experience as an LCSW licensed in Florida, Kara offers steady, practical support. The first session is about getting oriented and deciding together what the next steps should look like. She aims to walk alongside each person as they build skills and greater balance.

How these approaches work in online therapy

Client-centered therapy puts the client’s perspective first and focuses on listening, understanding, and building on strengths. Online sessions using this approach are a chance to talk through what matters most and set goals that feel doable.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thinking that increase stress or anxiety and introduces practical exercises to test different behaviors. In remote sessions, these tools can be practiced between meetings and reviewed together to track progress.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) brings skills for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and tolerating distress. Online work can focus on teaching and rehearsing those skills so they can be used in real life moments.

Figuring out the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss options, try strategies together, and adjust the plan based on the client’s goals and preferences. This collaborative way helps find what fits each person’s needs.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while they work on relationships, stress, and life changes.
