About Cara
Cara Tuley is an Ohio LPCC with 33 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship struggles, and codependency concerns. She also addresses grief, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and career or life transition challenges.
Cara uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness practices to help people notice unhelpful patterns. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people decide what matters most and act on those values.
Sessions are conversational and direct. Cara listens to what is happening now and helps people try small changes between meetings. She focuses on skills people can use in everyday moments rather than long theory explanations.
Her background includes decades of work with individuals coming from different cultures and life situations. She has experience supporting people with issues connected to adoption and foster care, attachment, aging, chronic illness, and caregiver stress. Cara also works with concerns related to sexuality and LGBT identities.
People who choose her often want concrete tools for setting boundaries, managing anxiety, and reducing people-pleasing or codependent patterns. She encourages step-by-step progress and checks in on which strategies are practical for each person.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing new ways of thinking and acting. It can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing stress.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps in that direction while learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for handling codependent patterns and making clearer choices about relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cara will help figure out which methods fit a person's goals and daily life. Decisions about techniques and exercises are made together and can change as progress is made.
Confirm the exact session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Discuss format preferences during the matching questionnaire and first meeting so sessions match practical needs.
