About Kara
Kara Jakubec is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with five years of counseling experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck - unsure how to begin, facing a life change, or questioning goals and relationships. Kara aims to walk alongside clients as they regain direction and build practical strategies.
She worked in a mix of roles before focusing on clinical counseling, including administrative and consulting positions in mental health settings.
Background and approach
That background gave her experience with substance use recovery, adolescent mental health, and supporting parents through parenting challenges. Kara also has experience leading workshops for professionals on teamwork and communication skills. Kara uses an approach that centers the person and borrows from cognitive and reality-based ideas.
She helps clients define where they want to go, breaks goals into doable steps, and practices skills in session. Conversations are practical and goal-oriented, with attention to what gets in the way of change.
People contact Kara for a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and family issues, parenting, career worries, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She supports work on intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, and coping with life transitions as well. Sessions focus on clear problem solving, motivation, and building skills to manage emotions and daily challenges.
Kara aims to help people leave sessions with one or two practical steps to try before the next meeting.

Approaches that guide online work and practical care
Her practice draws on person-centered ideas that place the client's experience first, and on cognitive methods that help identify unhelpful thoughts and change how they affect behavior. Person-centered work focuses on listening and helping a person name their goals so therapy follows what matters most. Cognitive methods look at thought patterns that fuel anxiety, anger, or avoidance and teach new ways to respond.She also uses reality-based strategies that emphasize clear choices and steps the client can take each day. These techniques help people break big goals into small actions and measure progress. Together these approaches support work on stress, anger, addictions, motivation, and life transitions in a straightforward way.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be a collaboration. The therapist will talk with each client about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest ways to proceed. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked so the plan stays relevant to what the client wants.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face work and skill practice, phone sessions can fit a shorter check-in or lower bandwidth, and messaging options let clients share thoughts between meetings. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people choose what fits their routine and comfort.
