Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Tara Jenkins draws from Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address emotional and relational concerns in an online setting. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early connections shape current relationship patterns and can help with abandonment, attachment issues, and difficulties forming secure bonds. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a nonjudgmental, accepting relationship where clients lead the pace of change and work on self-esteem, identity, and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by teaching practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms.

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 assess what feels most useful and adapt the plan over time to support meaningful progress.

Online therapy with Tara is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into everyday life and maintain continuity of support when in-person meetings are not possible.
