About Kara

Kara Jakubec is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who focuses on helping people navigate uncertainty and life transitions.

Background and approach

With five years of clinical counseling experience, she draws on prior roles in administration, consultation, and substance abuse services to support clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strains, parenting challenges, and challenges related to ADHD. Her background includes work with families and groups, and she brings experience from settings that served veterans and those in recovery.

Her style centers on collaboration and practical problem solving. She blends person-centered principles with cognitive and reality-oriented strategies, inviting clients to define their priorities while offering structure to move forward.

Clients work together with her to identify where they feel stuck, clarify goals, and develop stepwise strategies for change. Sessions aim to build skills for coping with stress, improving relationships, addressing addictive behaviors, and restoring a sense of direction.

Kara aims to create a supportive space that emphasizes empowerment and actionable steps. She frames change as a process and partners with each person to tailor interventions to their concerns and goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Kara uses person-centered principles that prioritize the client's own expertise about their life. This approach focuses on active listening and empathy to help people articulate values and goals, and it is helpful for those feeling stuck or uncertain about life direction. She also draws on cognitive techniques which examine thoughts and beliefs that influence emotions and behaviors; these methods can be useful for addressing anxiety, depression, and patterns that maintain stress or addictive behaviors.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Kara treats selection of methods as a collaborative process, adjusting techniques based on each person’s needs, goals, and preferences so the plan feels practical and achievable rather than prescriptive.

Online therapy with Kara is offered through several flexible formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - to make scheduling easier for people with busy or changing lives. These options support ongoing engagement, allow for different communication styles, and help clients access care from within Texas without the need to travel to an office.
