About Kara-sue
Kara-sue Harriott is a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) practicing in Maryland with 12 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, LGBTQ concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and related issues including social anxiety and phobia. Kara-sue uses straightforward conversation to help people who are feeling overwhelmed or stuck.
She keeps sessions direct and practical. Clients can expect time to name what feels hard, look at patterns that keep problems going, and try small changes between meetings. She pays attention to how relationships and past hurts affect everyday feelings and behavior.
Kara-sue often addresses issues like panic attacks, isolation, shame, and attachment wounds. She also works on problems connected to body image, money stress, communication breakdowns, and finding purpose. Sessions cover both immediate coping and longer-term shifts in thinking and behavior.
Her work is collaborative. She checks in about what is and isn’t helpful, and adjusts the pace to match each person’s needs. People who prefer clear steps and practical strategies may find this approach useful.
Sessions are conducted in English and organized so people can fit them into busy lives. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session options. To start, use the site’s matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
How therapy approaches shape online work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often include skills-focused work and trauma-informed approaches. Skills-focused work teaches practical strategies for managing symptoms like panic, worry, and avoidance. It breaks larger problems into small exercises that can be practiced between sessions. Trauma-informed approaches pay attention to how past harm affects current reactions and relationships, and help people regain a sense of control over their responses.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and comfort, and together they will decide which methods to try and how fast to move. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.
Confirm current session options before booking because formats were not specified in the bio. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find remote sessions help them practice social situations from their own routine. Ask about the session formats offered so arrangements match your schedule and communication preferences.
