Kara Jakubec, LPC

Kara Jakubec is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who helps people navigate anxiety, stress, addictions, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. Her work often supports individuals and families facing uncertainty - whether that looks like fear of the unknown, difficulty getting started, questions about purpose or roles, or the disruption of a new life phase. She partners with clients to identify where they feel stuck and to build practical strategies that increase empowerment and forward momentum.

Kara earned an M.Ed. in Human Development Counseling from Vanderbilt University in 2016 and later redirected her career toward clinical counseling. She has experience in administrative and consulting roles within mental health settings, and she has provided substance abuse counseling to veterans, fellow counselors, individuals, groups, and families to support recovery efforts. Her background also includes work in adolescent mental health and guidance for parents helping their children through challenging periods, along with workshops and trainings designed to strengthen cohesion and effectiveness in professional teams.

Her clinical focus includes anxiety and depression, motivational concerns, parenting and family issues, trauma and PTSD, substance use and recovery, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, career and vocational questions, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and other life adjustments. She blends a person-centered stance with cognitive and reality therapy techniques so that clients remain the experts of their own lives. The collaborative approach aims to clarify goals, map practical steps, and provide supportive counseling as clients move toward the life they want.
