Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathetic relationship that helps people feel heard and supported. This approach is useful for those seeking a safe space to explore emotions, improve self-esteem, and work through relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties because it teaches practical skills for managing symptoms and solving problems.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that supports people who are ambivalent about change. It can be especially helpful for addressing addiction, lifestyle changes, and other situations where building internal motivation is key.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tara works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore what feels most effective and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity of care across locations, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for each person.
