About Kara
Kara Goralski is a licensed clinician in Maryland with 12 years of experience. She holds an MD and is a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical, LCSW-C. Kara focuses on practical steps people can use to feel steadier and more in control when emotions run high.
She helps people who struggle with anger and low self‑esteem. She also supports individuals with ADHD-related challenges and communication problems. Sessions tend to focus on clear skills and small, achievable changes that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Kara uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person. She works collaboratively, listening first and then building strategies with the person in the room. That might include skill practice, problem-solving, or tools to manage impulsive reactions.
Her style is straightforward and compassionate. She aims to break down big problems into small steps. People can expect a calm, steady approach that emphasizes skill building over long talks alone.
For someone juggling work, family, or school while trying to manage strong feelings, Kara offers short-term goals and checkable progress. She helps people notice patterns, try new responses, and track what works. This practical focus is meant to create steady improvements in communication and emotional control over time.
What Kara works with
Everything Kara lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Kara's practice.
Evidence-based techniques for online care
Kara draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skill development and behavior change. One common approach she uses teaches concrete emotion regulation skills to help manage anger and impulsive reactions; this involves learning steps to pause, name the feeling, and choose a different response. Another approach emphasizes organizational and attention strategies for people with ADHD, offering routines, planning tools, and small habits to reduce overwhelm and improve focus.Finding the best approach is collaborative. Kara listens to each person’s goals and daily realities, then tests techniques together to see what helps. She adapts methods based on feedback so the work stays practical and relevant to the client’s life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy schedules. Video is useful for longer conversations and skill coaching, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for focused check-ins, and chat or messaging can support brief updates, reminders, or between-session check-ins. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting sessions around work, school, or family responsibilities.
