Kara Compton

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Pennsylvania, offering online therapy to adults and adolescents (age 13+). I am deeply committed to creating an inclusive, affirming space for individuals of all backgrounds—welcoming clients across all gender identities, sexual orientations, religious beliefs, and cultural heritages. My primary goal as a therapist is to empower you to build a healthier, more fulfilling life.

I earned my Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Chatham University. My education and clinical training ground my practice in a holistic approach, meaning we will look at the complete picture of your life—including your identity, relationships, environment, core values, and unique strengths—rather than focusing strictly on symptoms or diagnoses.

Over the past four years, I have worked as a behavioral health therapist supporting clients across K–12 school settings and integrated healthcare clinics. I bring a warm, compassionate perspective to help you navigate life’s challenges, build resilience, and reach your personal goals.

My approach is holistic, open-minded, affirming, and strength-based. I believe therapy should be a true partnership: a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel genuinely heard and supported, combined with practical, actionable tools and coping strategies you can use in your day-to-day life.

Our first session is a low-pressure opportunity for us to get to know one another. We will explore what brings you to therapy, look at your existing strengths and current stressors, and discuss what you hope to achieve. Together, we’ll begin outlining a personalized path forward tailored specifically to your needs and goals.
