Getting to know Cara Thomas
Hi... I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 15 years of experience helping people manage their mental health, overall wellness, and become the best version of themselves. I pride myself on being person-centered, warm, empathetic, and most importantly, non-judgmental. I am solution-focused, goal-oriented, and understand the importance of being relatable. My ultimate goal is to assist you in identifying your goals and developing healthy coping skills.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree from Cornell University and earned both a Master’s and an EdM in Psychological Counseling from Columbia University. My specialties include supporting people who are struggling with ADHD, anxiety, conflict resolution, cultural identity, goal setting, depression, low self-esteem, life transitions, micro-aggressions, relationship issues, sexuality, and women’s issues. I specialize in CBT, DBT, ACT, and solution-focused therapy.
If we decide to work together, you can expect to reflect on how your childhood trauma and experiences impact your current behaviors and perception of life. I will also support you in improving your insight and awareness and help you develop the coping skills you need to better navigate life.

I was very nervous about this process, using this platform made it simple. Ms. Daniels is now my therapist. She had great availability, a calming approach, and knowledgeable about my challenges. I was relieved at how professional and nice she was. Recommend
