About Tara
Tara Barbaro is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and low self-esteem. She draws on a decade of experience to guide clients through depression, relationship concerns, parenting strain, and major life changes. Her manner is respectful and compassionate, and she emphasizes practical steps clients can try between sessions.
She uses a collaborative approach that starts with listening to what matters most to each person.
How Tara works
Together, Tara and the client shape short-term goals and a flexible plan that fits daily life. That plan may include simple tools for coping with strong emotions, ways to rebuild confidence, and strategies for clearer communication. Her work often includes addressing trauma and abuse, anger, career stresses, and family-related worries.
She also supports people facing aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, divorce or separation, and veteran-related matters. Tara pays attention to how these challenges affect daily routines and relationships. Sessions mix practical techniques and client-centered conversation.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques may be used to spot unhelpful thinking while solution-focused ideas can help identify small achievable changes. The tone remains down-to-earth and goal-minded. People who seek Tara's help can expect clear feedback, straightforward tools, and encouragement to try new ways of coping.
She aims to empower clients to make steady progress toward a more manageable, satisfying life.

How Tara's Approaches Work in Online Therapy
Tara uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience, helping people feel heard and respected while they decide what changes to try. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions to find small practical changes that can reduce anxiety and depression.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tara will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time so the work fits the person’s life and pace.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets conversations feel more like in-person meetings. Phone sessions can be useful when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can make check-ins shorter and easier to fit into a busy day. These options give flexibility while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
