Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship where the client’s goals and values guide the process. This approach is useful for people working through life transitions, identity questions, relationship concerns, and self-esteem issues.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and adjust unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences in ways that reduce their ongoing impact and support recovery from abuse, loss, or other traumatic events.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tara works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts plans as progress unfolds.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - provide flexibility for scheduling and let clients connect from different locations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, accommodate busy routines, and access consistent support when in-person visits are difficult.
