Cara is helping me through a difficult time and is holding me accountable as well as helping me put things into perspective.

Reviewed December 2019

Mrs. Cara is an amazing listener, encourager and great accountability. I love the “homework” that she encouraged me to do and wanting me to continue to take steps to improve. So thankful for the time I got to spend with her and I have recommended many friends to Faithful Counseling since I started.

More about Cara

I understand, it's hard to know how to select the right counselor to help you begin your counseling with you. It is my goal to help your process be as easy as it can be by providing you a safe, supportive, and accepting environment to explore your unique journey. I offer compassion and objective listening. Together we can orchestrate the best plan to help you through a difficult time, prepare for your next adventure or to continue on your current path.

It is my goal to empower individuals, families, and couples to overcome personal obstacles in order to improve their relationships by using clinically tested interventions. Healthy relationships can improve overall well-being. I enjoy working with individuals, families, and couples.



I take an eclectic approach when formulating a customized treatment plan that best fits your specific needs and goals. Examples of approaches I might work from are cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems, attachment theory, solution-focused, or dialectical behavioral treatment. I believe people are constantly seeking to grow, renew themselves and blossom into their fullest potential. It is my goal to assist you in successfully meeting your personal and professional goals and becoming who you are longing to be.

I hold two Master's Degrees; one in Leadership and another in Counseling; and I am also a nurse. I believe my educational background and work experience assists me in approaching and treating the whole person.

I would be delighted to help your family become engaged again with positive communication, better understanding of one another, and even the return of laughter.

I have a passion for restoring intimate relationships to their healthiest state. Relationships with respect, trust, and love with the most important people in your lives.

I am looking forward to working with you-select me as your therapist and let's get started on your journey.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Mrs. Pruitt helped me learn how to challenge my work anxiety, helped me build a plan that worked for managing that anxiety while working, and was always kind and understanding when I felt like I was overwhelming her.
