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!

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.

I love Kara. She is very easy to talk to and amazing with the way she handles everything that I’ve thrown at her. She has completely helped me from where I started to today. I can’t rave more about her!! She’s the absolute best ❤️

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 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!
