About Khara
LCSW in Illinois with 10 years of clinical experience, Khara Harper focuses on stress, anxiety, self esteem, life changes, relationships, trauma and grief. She works with people facing career challenges, caregiver strain, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and workplace issues. Sessions draw on several behavioral and skills-based approaches that the client and therapist choose together.
Khara uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take steps that match what matters to them. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to notice thoughts and try different behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are available for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when needed.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Conversations focus on practical strategies that can be used between sessions. She combines problem-solving with skill practice and short-term coaching as appropriate.
People who come to Khara can expect clear goals and regular check-ins on progress. She often works on communication skills, coping plans for stressful events, and ways to manage compassion fatigue. She also supports people navigating grief and trauma through stepwise, paced approaches.
Appointments begin with a short assessment and a discussion of what the person hopes to change. From there Khara and the client pick methods that fit the situation and try them out in real life. Her work aims to make everyday tasks and relationships easier to manage.

Therapeutic approaches for remote work
Khara commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). ACT helps people name their values and take small actions that match those values, which can be useful for life changes and caregiver stress. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Khara works with each person to review goals, try an approach, and adjust methods based on what helps. This lets the therapist and client test practical tools and change course if something is not working.
