About Tara
Tara Prom welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or changes in their life. She helps with depression, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, and struggles with relationships. Tara is a LICSW - Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - based in Minnesota with 11 years of experience.
Her style is straightforward and respectful. She listens first, then works with each person to set small, clear goals.
How Tara works
Sessions focus on what is most pressing now and on practical steps the client can try between meetings. Tara draws on client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
For trauma-related concerns she incorporates trauma-focused strategies to address painful memories and their effects. She has supported people facing parenting stress, caregiving burden, addiction and recovery, mood challenges such as bipolar disorder and disruptive mood dysregulation, and conditions like ADHD and autism spectrum concerns. Tara also addresses family conflict, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and problems with impulsivity or anger.
Tara works collaboratively to tailor the plan to each person’s situation. She explains options plainly and adjusts the pace to match comfort and readiness. Taking the first step can be hard, and she aims to make the process feel manageable.

How Tara’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy means the therapist follows the client's lead, listens deeply, and shapes sessions around what the person says matters most. This approach helps clarify goals and keeps the work focused on the client’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot thoughts and actions that keep problems going and then practice new ways of thinking and behaving; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tara will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. She explains options, checks in about progress, and adjusts the plan as goals change so the work stays relevant and effective.
Online sessions offer flexibility and easier access to care. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that connection matters. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break or tight schedule. Live chat and text-based messaging give options for shorter check-ins, written reflection, or people who prefer typing over talking. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing daily life.
