About Kara
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C in Maryland and LCSW in Florida, with 8 years of post-qualification experience. Kara Scarbrough focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She also concentrates on caregiver stress, isolation and loneliness, self-love, social anxiety and phobia, and women's issues. Kara works in English and practices using Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Kara helps people talk through immediate worries and build everyday coping strategies. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and follow each person's concerns. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. Sessions aim for clear, practical steps rather than long theory talks.
People can expect straightforward conversation and gentle challenge when helpful. Kara pays attention to stress that comes from caregiving and to the effects of loneliness or social anxiety. She helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and tests small changes to see what works.
Her approach balances listening with practical tools. She checks in on goals every few sessions and adjusts techniques if needed. The focus is on skills that can be used between meetings to manage mood and stress.

How her approaches work in remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says. In practice this means the therapist follows the person's lead, asks clarifying questions, and helps the person name feelings and priorities. This approach is useful for grief, low self-esteem, and when someone needs a nonjudgmental ear.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks problems into manageable parts and tests small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT is often used for social anxiety, phobia, and stress management.
Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with the person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust techniques as progress is reviewed. That collaboration helps keep sessions practical and focused on measurable steps.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins during a break, or meetings that avoid travel time. Discuss scheduling and practical needs when completing the matching questionnaire so sessions align with daily routines.
