About Tara
Tara Brown is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Washington. She works with adults and young people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or life changes. She also helps those coping with trauma, addiction, low self-esteem, grief, ADHD, and mood challenges.
Her sessions are straightforward and focused on what matters most to each person. Tara listens without judgment and helps clients name their goals. Conversations cover practical steps, emotion management, and finding motivation to move forward.
Background and approach
She draws from several commonly used approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Client-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness practices. Tara tailors techniques to individual needs rather than following one fixed method. Clients can expect calm, clear guidance and a plan they can use between sessions.
Work may include skill-building, coping strategies for anxiety, or processing difficult memories when appropriate. Progress is tracked in small, achievable steps. With eight years of clinical experience, Tara combines practical tools and supportive conversation.
She aims to help people feel more capable in daily life and more hopeful about the future.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead. In online sessions this means the therapist provides empathy and reflection to help people clarify what matters and set meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and depression. Online CBT sessions commonly include practice exercises and simple worksheets to use between appointments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tara collaborates with each person to choose methods that suit their goals, comfort level, and daily routine. She may combine approaches over time and adjusts techniques based on what helps most in sessions and in everyday life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which lets people fit therapy into busy schedules. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging supports brief check-ins, homework review, or ongoing encouragement between appointments. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to maintain alongside work, school, or family responsibilities.
