About Cara
Cara Damier is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with eight years of experience helping people work through stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. She practices in Florida and offers therapy in English, including sessions for international clients. Her style is calm and grounded, with an emphasis on finding what lies beneath current difficulties and building lasting change.
Cara draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves.
Background and approach
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support values-based action when anxiety or avoidance gets in the way. Cara blends these with client-centered listening so each person’s goals shape the work together. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as deeper understanding.
She helps people learn tools for regulating strong emotions and improving communication. When trauma or relationship strain is present, she moves at a pace that keeps people feeling steady while addressing the root issues. Cara tailors therapy to each person’s needs and preferences.
That might mean working on boundaries, coping with caregiving stress, managing insomnia, or sorting career decisions. She also offers integration of psychological insights with Christian faith when a client requests that option. Therapy with Cara aims to move people from surviving toward thriving.
She emphasizes resilience, clearer thinking, and renewed confidence so clients can face life’s demands with more ease. The first steps are simple: fill out a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

Online session options
Narrative and Acceptance-focused care online
Cara often uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from the problem and rewrite unhelpful life stories. This approach helps with identity concerns, self-esteem, and relationship patterns by looking at how events are narrated and finding alternative meanings.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking steps that matter even when emotions are difficult. ACT can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and making changes people want but have hesitated to try.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Cara works collaboratively to test what helps, adjusting methods based on each person’s goals and preferences. She will talk through options, try techniques, and check in about what feels useful so the work fits the client’s life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging for flexibility. Video is good for in-depth conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text is helpful for shorter check-ins, coaching-style moments, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep continuity during life changes.
