Background and approach
Her background includes work with adults, teens, couples, and caregivers on issues like panic attacks, mood concerns, and obsessive thoughts. In sessions she listens first and builds on each person's strengths. Her style is warm and unpretentious.
She uses tools drawn from cognitive behavioral and narrative approaches and adapts techniques to each person's needs. Practical problem solving is a regular feature of her work. That can mean reframing unhelpful thoughts, breaking worries into smaller steps, or telling your story in a way that makes options clearer.
She also helps with communication skills and relationship patterns that keep stress repeating. Tara invites straightforward talk about what is and is not working. She values humor and honest feedback and encourages clients to speak up if the approach does not feel like a good fit.
Her goal is to help people find manageable ways to feel steadier and more capable in daily life.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding a person's experience and building on their strengths. It helps with anxiety, self-esteem, relationship strain, and life transitions by centering what matters to the client and moving at their pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills to change thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, and mood challenges by breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing new responses.
Narrative Therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. It can clarify patterns that drive stress and open up new possibilities for change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose and adjust methods based on goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That partnership makes it easier to try different tools and see what works.
Online sessions provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer appointment is needed. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a check-in is shorter. Live chat and text messaging let people send updates, try quick coping strategies between sessions, or fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier for many people to keep consistent progress while balancing other responsibilities.
