Background and approach
She respects sexual and gender diversity and works with clients who identify as LGBT. Her approach blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness practices. That means sessions often begin by hearing your story and priorities, then using simple, concrete strategies to test what helps.
Tara uses motivational interviewing and narrative therapy when they fit the goals a person brings. Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Tara focuses on clear, doable steps - experiments to try between meetings and ways to shift patterns that cause distress.
She avoids stigmatizing labels and centers each person's values and strengths. People who choose Tara often want practical coping skills, clearer communication, and relief from intense emotions. Her background in public mental health gives her experience with a wide range of life events and stressors.
She aims to guide people toward steadier days and more control over their choices.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Tara commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely, reflecting what matters to you, and guiding conversations so you decide what to change. It helps when someone needs acceptance and a steady space to make sense of difficult feelings. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses practical exercises to test new ways of coping. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and repetitive patterns that keep people stuck.Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. Tara will ask about your goals, preferences, and daily routine, then try approaches that match those needs. Together you can adjust the pace and methods as you see what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you have a face-to-face conversation and work through exercises together. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins, quick coaching, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to schedule care around family, work, and other obligations while keeping the focus on practical change.
