Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Tara
Tara integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy alongside a client-centered stance to support change in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress, offering concrete strategies for coping and problem solving. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical exercises to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can be useful for anxiety, trauma responses, and everyday stressors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes collaboration, empathy, and the client’s own strengths, creating a respectful space where goals are set together and the therapist adapts to each person’s pace and values.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tara works with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques from these approaches so sessions remain practical and aligned with what the client hopes to achieve.
Online therapy with Tara offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, keep continuity during life changes, and access support from different locations while working collaboratively with licensed professionals and therapists to move toward meaningful goals.
