Getting to know Cara Kelley

Hi, I'm Cara Kelley. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Texas, San Antonio. I believe counseling provides a safe, supportive relationship where you can openly share your thoughts and feelings and learn new strategies for coping with situations and emotions. Areas of practice include relationships, parenting, career, ADHD, aging, caregivers, codependency, commitment, communication, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, midlife crisis, panic attacks, anxiety, women's issues, workplace issues, and young adult issues. My approach I use several different approaches or theories in therapy because I believe no one approach fits all clients. I incorporate Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered therapy, and others depending on the client and the situation. I believe in taking a holistic approach to overall health-the mind, body, and spirit are so intimately connected that one most certainly influences the others. My focus I typically see clients between the ages of 25 and 70. Most of my clients seek help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or relationship and job-related issues. I also work with many other concerns such as parenting, aging, caregiving, codependency, commitment, communication, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, midlife crisis, panic attacks, women's issues, and young adult issues, though these are less common. My communication style My desire is to work with you to develop new patterns in your life that can lead to healthier coping skills, increased confidence, and a greater sense of purpose and meaning. I see my role as helping you utilize what you already know and your strengths to overcome barriers and grow more fully into who you want to become. I believe in the strength of human resiliency, but sometimes we become stuck and need help to move forward.
