About Tara
Tara Wojtkunski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and changes in life circumstances. She also supports people navigating LGBT concerns, bipolar disorder, trauma, and self-esteem struggles. Her tone is straightforward and compassionate, aiming to make the first step feel manageable for a worried parent or individual.
Tara creates an open space for people to share thoughts and feelings without judgment. She listens closely and asks practical questions to help people notice what matters most.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on small, doable changes that fit daily life rather than abstract goals. Her work draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping skills and manage overwhelming emotions. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful action.
Tara adapts tools to each person’s situation rather than following a fixed script. With 12 years of experience in behavioral health settings, Tara combines hands-on skill-building with steady support. She pays attention to both immediate problems and longer patterns that keep people stuck.
That lets her outline steps that bring relief while building resilience for the future. People who want practical strategies often find her straightforward style helpful. She encourages questions and works at a pace that fits each person’s needs.
If you are unsure where to begin, Tara helps make the process clear and manageable.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, life transitions, and building a sense of purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that keep problems going; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with mood instability and self-harm concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to figure out which combination of methods fits their goals and situation. That collaboration keeps the work practical and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins, written reflections, and flexible ways to stay connected between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, and family obligations while keeping focus on progress and usable skills.
