About
Kara Elliott is a licensed therapist practicing in Oregon with six years of clinical experience. She holds Oregon licenses as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT - T2001) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC - C6486).
She works with people facing stress and anxiety, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, depression and bipolar challenges, relationship and family difficulties, eating concerns, parenting issues, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. Kara approaches therapy from a non-religious perspective and identifies as a female therapist.
Kara believes that each person is the expert of their own story and that existing strengths can be used to overcome adversity and learn new ways to navigate difficulties. She integrates expressive arts therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness practices, and body-based supports to promote insight beyond traditional talk therapy.
Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage, and Kara offers supportive, practical guidance to clients as they move through that process.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?
Many people wonder whether online therapy can make a real difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that feels most comfortable, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
Therapists offering online care are licensed professionals, and individuals may choose to switch to a different clinician at any time if they want a different fit. Online therapy provides an accessible way to engage with professional support while maintaining the same core therapeutic approaches used in face-to-face work.
