About Kara-sue
Kara-sue Harriott is a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) in Maryland with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, LGBTQ concerns, and ADHD. Her practice pays attention to problems that often follow big life changes, like feeling directionless or unsure what comes next.
Kara-sue keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. She invites people to talk about difficult feelings and everyday struggles. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what practical steps might help reduce day-to-day distress.
She often addresses problems linked to attachment and abandonment, and helps people manage impulses, panic, and mood swings. Money worries, isolation, body image, shame, and struggles with self-love also come up in her work. Life purpose is a named focus area she supports people to consider when circumstances shift.
Her approach is consistent and attentive. She aims to help clients notice patterns and try small changes. That may include learning new ways to talk about needs, testing different coping strategies, and practicing clearer communication.
Sessions are for adults seeking help with these concerns and with figuring out what to do next after a major change. Kara-sue works in English and practices in Maryland. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and schedule an initial meeting.
How evidence-based techniques guide online sessions
Many evidence-based techniques focus on concrete skills and practice. Cognitive approaches look at unhelpful thinking patterns and help people try alternative ways of interpreting situations, which can reduce worry and low mood. Trauma-informed methods focus on stabilizing symptoms first, building skills for managing arousal, and then working carefully through trauma-related material when the person is ready.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kara-sue will collaborate with each person to identify which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking in about what helps, adjusting tools over time, and agreeing on steps to practice between sessions.
The therapist's profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Many people find online options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or remove the time spent traveling to appointments. Discussing practical scheduling needs and session length at the first meeting helps shape a plan that fits everyday life.
