Getting to know Kara Joseph
Hi, I am grateful you are here! My name is Kara Joseph, and I am a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) in the state of Massachusetts. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Boston College. I work with adults and have a special interest in supporting people coping with life transitions, chronic and serious illness, relationship challenges, and grief and loss. I come from a holistic approach focusing on the whole self—physical, emotional, social, practical, and spiritual/life purpose—and often incorporate expressive arts therapy into my client sessions, including poetry, journaling, creative writing, and more, to create long-lasting healing and change.
My approach
I believe everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and understood. A trusting, collaborative relationship between therapist and client is essential for successful therapy. No one path to healing works for everyone, so I tailor my approach to each client’s unique needs, strengths, and goals. Whether through mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy, poetry therapy, or solution-focused techniques, I work from a non-judgmental, strength-based perspective to support you on your journey.
My focus
You are worthy, lovable, and capable of creating a beautiful life centered around what is most important to you. My clients are those seeking relief from distress, eager to heal and grow through self-reflection, and open to exploring new possibilities. I work with individuals facing major life changes, relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, aging, caregiving, illness, and pain.
My communication style
My communication style is honest, supportive, and compassionate. In our partnership, you’ll bring your authentic self, a willingness for self-awareness, and an openness to change. I’ll provide guidance, motivation, and a safe space for exploration. Together, we’ll foster long-term healing and growth.
