How Tara works
She also supports those dealing with parenting strain, addiction concerns, self-esteem struggles, and compassion fatigue.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, life transitions, and motivation struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier connection habits and emotional regulation skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tara will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying practical skills, reflecting on relationship patterns, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing contact and flexibility for people who prefer written communication or need quick support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep continuity when life changes.
