Kara is like talking to a best friend. She is so easy to talk to. She’s been my therapist for 3 years now and she offers advice and suggestions based on what she has gathered from me as a person. She helps me see things from a different perspective that I wouldn’t have or couldn’t based on the situation I am in. I would 100% recommend Kara for any mother who needs a hype woman and for anyone dealing with relationship issues or a broken heart.

Hi and thank you for taking the time to view my profile! My name is Kara Carola and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey. I have over twelve years of experience in the counseling field and have worked with many kids, adolescents and adults challenged by various struggles including anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, and life changing transitions and situations. My personal approach to therapy is extremely strengths-based, client-centered, and solution-focused.
When working with clients, I do my best to provide a safe, trusting, and positive environment. I understand the importance of a strong rapport within the therapeutic relationship and have been told that my genuineness and positive energy make it easier for people to connect and share their stories. I strongly believe that everyone has various strengths that once identified and utilized, can be the primary resources to help achieve positive change. I strive to be a support in helping a person gain insight and in turn use it to take action and achieve results. Your strengths will be highlighted in treatment planning, goal setting and will be used as a foundation as I pull from various treatment modalities to best meet your individual needs.
Thank you again for visiting my profile and let me know if you want to work together!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
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 amazing! She helps me understand and validate my feelings. Gave me amazing tools I use everyday to keep myself on the right track. Also reminding me I’m human and I can’t do it all and it’s okay to get off track as long as I get back on.
Kara has been such a huge help in my life. She is a great listener and provides such open minded perspective. Look forward to continue working with her ☺️
I love Kara.. She’s amazing.. ❤️ I don’t know what I would do without her.. she knows exactly how I feel and is always there to support me. I honestly love that she’s my therapist..
Kara has been absolutely amazing! I’ve only had a few message conversations and one video call but I am already so impressed! She is kind, caring and genuine. I have always valued the importance of therapy but have been nervous to take that first step for over a year now and this process through better help and her welcoming personality has convinced me that I made the right decision. She is supportive and willing to go at your pace through this journey. I am so excited to get to know her more and to finally be able to have such a wonderful confidant!
Kara helped me through one of the hardest times in my relationship. I’m so glad I found this app!
I have only had two video sessions with Kara, but she is absolutely amazing! She helps me believe how strong I am and is helping me to focus on doing things for myself. I can’t wait to continue working with her!
Kara’s approach to therapy is comforting in the fact that she takes time to focus on the individual and really get to know the way a person thinks! I was impressed with how much I found myself sharing that I didn’t even know was really weighing heavy on my mind!
