Cara Gibson

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

Hello, I’m Cara and I have practiced counseling for over 10 years. I have worked with those battling addiction, adults and adolescents who struggle with depression, anxiety and conflict resolution. I have experience working with adolescents, families, couples and individuals. My experiences include working in outpatient, residential and in-home counseling settings.

I believe in listening to what the client needs and at the same time challenging them. I feel the way to do this is building a good rapport and to have open communication. I use more of a client based approach but am open to adjusting to what the client needs. There is a stigma around mental health which I feel needs to change. I believe every individual should seek counseling if they feel they need help and there should be no shame attached to receiving counseling services.

I look forward to helping those who are looking to take the steps to better themselves.

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?

Many people ask whether online therapy can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or managing life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person treatment. One major benefit is flexibility – you can meet with a therapist in the format that best suits your schedule and comfort level, whether that is a video call, a phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Licensed professionals provide online therapy, and if you feel a different match would be better you are able to switch therapists at any time. Online therapy can be a practical option for many people seeking support and guidance on common mental health challenges.
