About Tara
Tara Fulgham is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with 24 years of experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with grief and loss, and work on self-esteem and depression. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at making the start of therapy feel manageable.
She invites clients to share thoughts and feelings in a calm, nonjudgmental space. Sessions focus on practical steps and small changes that can reduce overwhelm and boost confidence.
How Tara works
Conversations cover everyday challenges like motivation, loneliness, and self-care habits. Tara listens for what matters most to each person and tailors conversations around those priorities. She pays attention to patterns that keep people stuck and helps them try new ways of responding.
Forgiveness and learning to practice self-love are common themes in her work. Over two decades of practice have given her experience with many kinds of life transitions and emotional ups and downs. Her style is patient and direct, offering clear options rather than jargon.
She encourages steady progress and realistic goals. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she acknowledges that courage. Tara supports people as they begin to rebuild confidence and handle change one step at a time.

Approaches and how online therapy works
Many of her sessions draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at solving practical problems. One common approach focuses on breaking larger problems into smaller, achievable steps so stress and anxiety feel more manageable; this helps when worry or overwhelm get in the way of daily life. Another approach centers on processing grief and loss through guided conversation and coping strategies that help people tolerate hard feelings and find ways to remember and heal.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to identify goals and preferences, then adjusts methods if something does not fit. That way people help shape the plan and try what feels most useful for them.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more practical. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or camera use is not preferred. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, brief reflections, or when fitting a session into a busy schedule.
