About Tara
Tara listens without labels and works alongside each person to shape goals that matter to them. Her style is interactive and straightforward, focusing on practical steps and honest conversation. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and client-centered principles to keep work grounded and useful.
In sessions she helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of coping. She also uses mindfulness strategies to bring attention back to the present moment when stress or overwhelm shows up. Narrative techniques are used when someone wants to reframe a painful story from their past.
Tara has a background working with the South Carolina Department of Mental Health, where she gained experience with a wide range of concerns including trauma, emotional abuse, grief, and chronic life stressors. That experience informs a calm, steady approach to problem solving.
She aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person’s needs, pace, and values. If someone wants practical tools, goal-focused work, or a listening ear while navigating change, she offers a collaborative style that balances empathy with clear next steps.

Step 3
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, respect, and helping a person set their own goals; online sessions let that collaborative conversation continue even when schedules are busy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it often uses concrete exercises and short homework tasks that transfer well to remote sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and grounding skills to manage stress and strong emotions; brief guided practices can be practiced between online meetings to build daily habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that match the client’s needs and adjust over time if something isn’t fitting.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session types before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit into a busy day, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep consistent appointments. Online work also allows the use of worksheets, short skill practices between meetings, and focused check-ins when a quick plan or support is needed.
