Online support
How Tara’s approaches work online and in sessions
Tara uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, panic, mood issues, and obsessive thinking because it teaches concrete coping skills.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely, reflecting back what someone says, and building on each person’s strengths. This approach supports people working through relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions by making the therapist-client relationship the main tool for change.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Tara will talk with the client about goals, try a few strategies, and adjust based on what is working. That collaborative process helps decide whether CBT, client-centered work, narrative elements, or solution-focused moves fit best.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video lets people work face-to-face when a visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, short goal-setting, or when writing helps process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to try approaches that match individual preferences.
