Getting to know Kara Barrentine

Hi there, I'm Kara! I have over 11 years of experience helping adults experiencing depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. I'm licensed in Florida as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and hold a Master's in Counseling from Florida State University. I use a collaborative and person-centered approach to therapy, focusing on your strengths and resources to support your journey toward improved mental well-being. My approach I use an eclectic client-centered approach incorporating Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Positive Psychology, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). My focus I work with adult clients who present with a variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, OCD, borderline personality disorder, substance abuse, trauma, anger management, and low self-esteem/self-confidence. Other concerns I have experience treating include grief, financial stress, loneliness, dependency, autism, panic disorder, phases of life challenges, phobias, sleep disturbances, social anxiety, and career stress. My communication style I strive to create a warm, safe, and non-judgmental environment where clients feel comfortable expressing themselves freely and discussing difficult topics. My journey to mental healthcare I believe mental well-being is essential to overall well-being. I truly enjoy helping others discover their strengths and resources to pursue their goals, improve outcomes, and enhance their quality of life. My goals for you I will ask about your strengths and resources and use them to develop your goals and the outcomes you envision in therapy. My first session with you I will invite you to tell me about yourself and ask about the frequency, intensity, duration, and history of your symptoms, as well as the current issues that brought you to therapy and how they affect various areas of your life.
