About Kala

Kala Farrare is a clinician who uses practical, evidence-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationships, and major life changes. She holds an MD and multiple social work credentials, including LCSW-C and LCSW, and brings five years of experience to her practice in Georgia. Her sessions focus on simple, doable strategies.

Kala often works on building coping skills and clearer thinking. She also offers coaching-style support for people who want goal-oriented help alongside therapy.

Background and approach

Kala draws from methods like motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral techniques to guide conversations. These approaches help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and try small changes that make daily life easier. She also uses solution-focused ideas to set short-term steps and strength-based ideas to remind people what already works for them.

Her background includes work with both adults and young people, and experience addressing substance use and related challenges. That experience informs how she talks through motivation, readiness for change, and practical next steps. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, so scheduling can fit different routines. People who want to begin pick Start Therapy, fill a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Motivational interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change. It focuses on drawing out a person’s goals and readiness and can be useful for shifting habits or addressing substance use. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors. These methods help reduce anxiety and improve daily coping by breaking problems into clear steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try based on needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins, between-session updates, or when typing feels easier. These formats offer flexibility for scheduling and help people access support from different locations.
