Background and approach

Tara draws on approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and psychodynamic ideas. Together with the client she looks for methods that fit each person’s needs and goals. Her background includes clinical practice and teaching across several mental health settings.

That range has shaped a flexible style that adapts to different problems and personalities. Tara explains ideas in plain language and offers steps people can try between sessions. Many clients come to address anxiety, phobias, or responses to past trauma.

Others want help managing mood, improving communication, or coping with big life changes. Tara works to create clear, manageable plans that make progress feel realistic. She conducts sessions using video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Sessions follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own goals and pace, with the therapist offering empathy and reflective listening to help people clarify what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors through practical exercises and homework. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can support shorter updates, coaching-style exchanges, or ongoing skill practice between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
