Therapeutic approaches and online care
Tara McClain commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and build practical skills to manage anxiety, stress, depression, and everyday challenges. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the individual’s experience guides the work and helps enhance self-understanding and self-worth. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes concrete steps and short-term goals to address specific concerns and move clients toward meaningful change.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tara collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for scheduling and makes it easier to maintain continuity of care. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to work with clients in ways that fit daily routines, reduce travel time, and support access to consistent treatment when in-person meetings are not possible.
