About Tara
Her work blends a strength-based, person-centered orientation with solution-focused and trauma-informed perspectives. She draws from cognitive-behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing alongside psychodynamic ideas to tailor interventions to each person’s needs. Tara remains committed to ongoing professional learning to ensure her approach reflects current best practices.
In sessions she prioritizes where people are in their lives and how their difficulties affect daily functioning rather than focusing on labels or diagnoses. She collaborates with clients to set practical goals and develop concrete plans that target their priorities. Recognizing the courage it takes to begin therapy, Tara offers supportive guidance for those ready to engage in change and growth.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for conditions such as anxiety and depression and offers practical skills to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that explores ambivalence and supports a person’s own motivation for change - it can be useful for substance concerns, behavior change, and increasing readiness for therapy. Trauma-Focused Therapy attends directly to the effects of traumatic experiences and works to reduce their ongoing impact on emotion, relationships, and daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made and priorities evolve.
Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and different locations. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent support, facilitate goal-focused work, and maintain continuity of care when in-person sessions are not feasible.
