Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care



Tara uses several therapeutic approaches that adapt easily to remote formats. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management and emphasizes practical skills and homework between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness skills to help reduce reactivity and increase emotional regulation; it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and coping with difficult emotions. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client’s experience and emphasizes empathy, listening, and collaboration to help individuals explore values, relationships, and life goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Tara works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques over time, blending approaches when that best supports progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - clients can meet by video, speak by phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from different locations, while preserving the core elements of talk therapy and skills practice.
