About Tara
Tara Herrmann is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) practicing in Minnesota. She draws on five years of clinical experience to help people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and shifts in life circumstances. Tara emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions.
She focuses on building a working plan with each person, tailoring conversation and steps to fit individual needs and goals. The tone is practical and encouraging, with attention to what feels doable for each client.
How Tara works
In therapy she helps people strengthen self-esteem, regain motivation, and handle the ripple effects of trauma. She addresses attachment concerns, communication problems, codependency, and the fallout of infidelity. Practical strategies are offered alongside space to process strong emotions.
Tara also supports people facing body image or eating-related concerns, substance and alcohol struggles, and postpartum depression. She helps those wrestling with guilt, shame, isolation, or questions about life purpose to find clearer direction and coping tools. Her approach is collaborative.
She works with clients to set short-term goals and realistic next steps. Progress is measured by what matters to the client, whether that means calmer days, steadier relationships, or better self-care habits.

Evidence-based techniques and flexible online care
Tara uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps and emotional processing. One approach emphasizes building coping skills and problem-solving to reduce anxiety and manage stressful situations; this helps with everyday symptoms and decision-making. Another strand centers on processing trauma and abuse through paced conversation and stabilizing strategies to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then decide on methods to try. That shared decision-making helps tailor the pace and tools to each person’s needs.
Online therapy offers several convenient formats: video calls for session-style conversations, phone sessions when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between meetings. These options let people fit therapy into work, childcare, or busy days while keeping regular contact with a licensed professional.
