About Tara
Tara Wright-Mitchell is a licensed mental health counselor and a Florida LMHC who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, and depression. She also supports people facing major life changes and those struggling to find motivation or confidence. She keeps sessions straightforward and warm.
Tara creates a space where people can talk about difficult feelings without judgment. She focuses on practical steps you can try between sessions. Progress is treated as small, steady shifts rather than quick fixes.
Background and approach
Her work draws on approaches that emphasize acceptance, mindful awareness, and skills-building. Tara uses methods from cognitive behavioral work and ACT to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and take value-driven action. She also includes techniques from DBT and client-centered therapy when emotion regulation and validation are needed.
With two decades of experience, Tara has supported many people through transitions like separation, blended family adjustments, and major role changes such as caregiving responsibilities. She addresses everyday relationship challenges such as communication problems, commitment worries, and issues tied to attachment or abandonment feelings. Tara speaks English and practices in Florida as an LMHC.
She offers several online session formats to fit different schedules and communication styles. Starting therapy begins with a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a time that works for you.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values even when anxiety or doubt appears. It focuses on making room for difficult thoughts while moving toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy trains present-moment awareness to reduce reactivity and improve emotional balance.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tara collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. She may combine techniques so you learn both acceptance and skills-based strategies, and she adjusts the plan as your goals change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins or people who prefer written communication. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and let you choose the way that feels most practical and sustainable.
