About Cara

Cara Harper is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, and ADHD, among other areas.

Background and approach

Cara emphasizes creating a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings and begin to make practical changes. Her approach blends empathy with evidence-based techniques to help people manage emotions, regain perspective, and build healthier patterns.

She uses client-centered principles to prioritize each person’s goals and values, and draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to address unhelpful thinking, increase motivation for change, and develop concrete coping skills. Cara frames therapy as a collaborative process and offers encouragement and guidance as clients take steps toward a more satisfying life.

Clients seeking support for life transitions, coping strategies, or behavioral concerns will find a practitioner who values empowerment and practical problem solving. Cara invites those ready to explore change to begin with a brief intake and scheduling that fits their availability.

Approaches That Guide Online Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, and other concerns. It focuses on practical skills and homework-style exercises to shift unhelpful thoughts and build coping strategies.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused approach that helps people explore and resolve ambivalence about change. It is useful for addictions, lifestyle shifts, and any situation where increasing internal motivation supports progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Cara works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will assess progress and adjust strategies to make therapy feel relevant and practical.

Online sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit regular work on goals into daily life and to stay connected when in-person visits are not practical, while allowing licensed professionals to use the same therapeutic techniques adapted for remote work.
