About Tara
Tara Sedov is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She supports concerns like parenting strain, self-esteem, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Her tone is practical and steady, aimed at people who want clear tools rather than jargon.
Tara uses a person-centered, strengths-based style. She treats the relationship as a partnership and helps people build skills they can use day to day. Sessions focus on practical strategies for mood, focus, worry, and life transitions.
Background and approach
She draws on a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and coaching tools to match each person’s needs. That might look like skill teaching, breath-based practices, or planning and problem solving. The choice of approach is decided together, based on what helps most.
Tara has worked in clinical practice for eight years across Washington and Massachusetts. She has experience supporting people with attachment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, OCD and compulsive behaviors, immigration-related worries, and identity questions including gender dysphoria. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Tara aims to make therapy flexible, using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can fit care into busy lives.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Many of the techniques Tara draws on are evidence-based and focus on teaching skills people can use right away. Breath-based practices help calm the body and are useful for intense anxiety or when someone feels overwhelmed. Skill-focused behavioral techniques help with planning, reducing avoidance, and managing obsessive or compulsive urges. Coaching-style work supports practical steps for life changes, goal setting, and improving daily routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tara treats it as a collaboration - she will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps a person meet their goals. Together they track progress and change direction if something isn’t working.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let people have a full session from wherever they are, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break, and chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins and follow-up between sessions. These formats give flexibility for scheduling and for choosing how to engage in the work.
