Background and approach
Sessions are aimed at small, doable steps that add up to real change. Tara often uses mindfulness and acceptance skills to help people stay present with difficult feelings. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
These methods are mixed to fit each person’s needs. Client-centered listening is a constant part of her style. She listens first, then helps set goals that feel meaningful and realistic.
People leave sessions with tools to handle stressful moments and to build better habits. She also works on relationship concerns such as communication problems, commitment and trust, and issues related to blended families. Other areas she addresses include body image, caregiving stress, codependency, and forgiveness.
The work is paced to match each person’s comfort and readiness.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without being driven by them and then take meaningful action in spite of worry or fear. It is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and adjusting to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and learning new ways to respond; it is helpful for anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and concerns, then suggest techniques that fit your needs and preferences. Together you can try different methods and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. Video calls let you work face-to-face from wherever you are. Phone sessions are a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or to fit brief updates into a work break or a hectic day.
