Kara Stansbury, LMFT, LCPC
About me
I have been been working with adolescents, adults, and families for over 12 years in a variety of settings including wilderness therapy, community mental health, university, substance abuse treatment, in-patient treatment, and private practice. I hold an undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of Massachusetts and a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from Appalachian State University with a concentration in Body-Centered Therapy.
As a therapist, I work from a client-centered, systemic perspective. Systemic being that no problem or person exists in isolation. By addressing the entire system, whether individual, couple, or family, longer-term changes are achieved. I pull from a diverse background of skills including DBT, mindfulness, family systems theory, positive psychology, mindfulness, and somatic experiencing. My passion in this works comes from a genuine love of connecting and creating authentic relationships with my clients, which forms the foundation for change and healing.
I look forward to working with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kara Stansbury. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Kara is a patient and intuitive counselor. Her guidance is measured and sensitive. Over and over again, she has helped point me in the right direction.
