Hi Everyone! My name is Kara Gubner. I am a licensed mental health counselor in New York with over 5 years of experience in the counseling field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, psychotic disorders, personality disorders, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. I also have experience working with people with developmental disabilities and/or autism and managing behavioral concerns/providing support and counseling to those individuals and their care-takers. In addition, I’ve also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse, and assisted in working with people in crisis situations. I have also worked in counseling and providing support to friends/family of a person who struggles with mental illness.
My counseling style is open, empathetic, non-judgmental, and interactive. My approach is person-centered and it combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. However, I typically tailor counseling sessions/dialog and treatment plan to meet each person’s unique and specific needs. In most cases, I work with clients on increasing their self-awareness to better understand themselves in order to better assist on improving their situation.
It takes a lot of strength and courage to begin a journey to bettering yourself and seeking therapists/therapy is a fantastic first step! I am here and available to assist you in this journey!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Kara is the perfect fit for me. I always feel better after our conversations. It feels like talking to a friend (if my friends were this qualified).
Kara has been great! It’s been a pleasure working with her. Her listening skills and advice have made a difference in my life.
Kara has been my beacon of light through navigating my mental health during these insane covid times. She is an amazing listener and she provides me with honest and clear feedback which I feel is truly helping me become a better and more calm person.
Always there when I need her!!
Kara is a very good at listening to my ranting about work and life in general! She is a competent counselor who is great for just talking to in general and also offering suggestions as well as explaining what underlying things could be causing your current state of mind.
