About Kira
Kira Karabanovs is an Ohio-licensed independent social worker (LISW) with eight years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, self-esteem concerns, and life changes. Kira also supports people coping with addictions, intimacy questions, eating-related concerns, parenting stress, anger, career shifts, depression, and ADHD.
Her approach is direct and practical. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that come from the family people grew up in and how those patterns show up now. She uses clear tools to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Conversations are straightforward and goal-oriented.
Kira draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down thoughts and actions that keep problems going. She uses Motivational Interviewing when someone needs help finding reasons to change. Trauma-Focused Therapy is part of her work when past events are affecting current wellbeing.
In sessions she helps people map specific steps for coping with daily stress. That can include short exercises, planning for difficult conversations, or trying new ways to handle triggers. The work aims to reduce symptoms and improve everyday functioning rather than offering quick fixes.
She practises in Ohio and conducts sessions in English. People who want to begin are asked to use the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches used in online work
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and day-to-day coping skills by breaking problems into small, manageable steps.Motivational Interviewing centers on helping people find their own reasons to change. The method uses open questions and reflective listening to clarify goals and increase commitment to practical steps.
Trauma-Focused Therapy attends to how past events continue to affect current feelings and reactions. It includes strategies to process difficult memories and reduce their hold on daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That assessment can change over time as priorities shift.
