Tara Fischer , LPC

Tara Fischer is a licensed therapist practicing in Wisconsin who approaches care with attention to the whole person - physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. As an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), she has worked across a variety of settings and supports children, individuals, and families through life transitions and challenges.

She uses a client-centered foundation that prioritizes each person’s own goals and insight, integrating solution-focused strategies along with principles from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when appropriate. Tara draws on her experience with autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and past trauma to tailor interventions to each individual rather than relying on labels alone.

Tara values getting to know clients beyond diagnoses, listening for strengths and deeper meaning so that growth and healing can unfold collaboratively. Her practice emphasizes practical coping skills, strengthened relationships, and building toward healthier, more empowered versions of oneself. She aims to guide people as they explore their experiences, clarify what matters most, and move forward with resilience and self-understanding.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-centered therapy places the client’s goals and perspective at the heart of treatment, encouraging self-exploration and working from the client’s own values to guide change. This approach helps people who want a collaborative, empathetic environment to make sense of their experiences.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and skills-based, often helpful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that interfere with daily life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, and can be useful for intense emotions, relationship struggles, and learning new coping tools.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tara works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, combining elements from different approaches when that best supports progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or reach support from home. These options allow Tara to deliver the same therapeutic approaches in ways that accommodate different comfort levels and logistical needs, helping clients engage consistently and move toward their goals.
