Get to know Cara Kopicki an Eating Disorder & OCD Therapist!

By: Cara Kopicki, LPC NCC MSEd MPhilEd

My name is Cara Kopicki and I am excited to be a part of the Recovered and Restored team as one of their therapists. At Recovered and Restored, I have the privilege of working with a variety of clients from all walks of life. I am personally interested in working with athletes, but also work with people struggling with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, OCD, attachment wounds, and trauma. As a trauma-informed, HAES-aligned provider, I believe everyone deserves a safe space to explore the deeper meaning of life and their mental health. We have the honor of serving clients in Delaware, New Jersey, Florida, Maryland, South Carolina, Connecticut, Vermont, and Pennsylvania.

The Journey to Becoming a Therapist

I always had an interest in working for the communities of which I felt connected. Through playing sports and working in athletics at the high school and collegiate level, I saw a need for mental health support. From my experiences, I wanted to continue combining my passion for mental health and athletics. Having experience in athletics, along with working for several years in a higher level of care for eating disorders, I found the work to be inspiring and unique. Since then, I have become passionate about supporting young women, athletes, and adults through the ups and downs of daily life. No one day is the same, and that’s exciting!

What to Expect When Working with a Therapist

My therapeutic approach is focused on helping clients foster purpose-filled lives that are aligned with their values and goals. I believe in meeting clients where they are and walking alongside them in their journeys with unconditional positive regard, authenticity, empathy, and a touch of humor. I believe time, intentional reflection, and encouraging rapport can create lasting change.

I use a relational and existential approach, which means that sessions focus on what is coming up for you and what you'd like to process in our space. I also utilize CBT/DBT frameworks in sessions when appropriate to clients and their needs. I help clients address emotions, explore the impact of their experiences, develop flexibility, and create meaning. I am excited to help clients reconnect with themselves and build healthier, more fulfilling lives.

A Little of My Story

My ideal client is someone who is looking to learn more about themselves and wants to spend time exploring who they are, where they’ve been, and where they want to go. For me, the most fulfilling part of my job is sharing a space with clients and hearing their stories. As someone who enjoys personal reflection and digging into the “bigger questions” of life, I love getting philosophical with my clients. Ultimately, I believe that my clients are the drivers of their life stories, and I am here to hold space and create meaning for those experiences. I would be honored to share in your journey and help you prioritize your well-being.

Thank you for spending some time with me today and I look forward to hearing more about you!
