Kara Caouette, LPC — Therapist in Connecticut

Hi there, I'm Kara!

My biggest goal is to create a safe space for clients to be themselves. Therapy is not a race, but a walk we take together.

My focus

I am open to working with anyone who simply wants to learn more about themselves, as well as explore ways to overcome the complexities of our very fast-paced world. I work to validate and advocate for my clients.

My approach

My approach to therapy depends solely on the individual needs of a client. The approaches that I utilize the most are cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy.

My communication style

I actively listen to my clients while providing them with challenging perspectives. I have been described as calm, warm, and nonjudgmental.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always wanted to become a therapist. I began working with older adults in nursing homes, specifically in hospice care. I naturally gravitate toward being there for someone, even on their worst days. I hope to provide support and offer different perspectives, encouraging individuals to not just survive but to thrive.

My goals for you

I collaboratively work with clients to identify meaningful short-term goals that lead toward a client's bigger goal. We work together to identify achievable goals that lead towards success rather than failure.

Our first session

What you can expect from our first session together is for us to discuss what has led you into a therapeutic setting. I hope to build rapport and learn what makes you, you.
