About Tara
Tara Sedov is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Washington. She focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and ADHD and helps people who are struggling with these concerns find practical ways to manage day-to-day life. Tara uses a person-centered, strengths-based style that treats therapy as a partnership.
She listens for what matters most and works with each person to build useful coping skills.
How Tara works
Sessions are collaborative and focused on real-world changes rather than jargon. She draws on several evidence-based therapeutic techniques to match each person's needs. That means tailoring tools and practices to the situation - whether someone needs help with attention and impulsivity, mood struggles, or dealing with guilt and shame.
The goal is skills that stick beyond the session. Tara also addresses related issues such as attachment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, communication problems, family of origin issues, and multicultural or immigration-related challenges. She supports people navigating gender dysphoria, obsessional thoughts, and compulsive behaviors as well.
With eight years of experience and licensure in Washington and Massachusetts, Tara combines clinical skills with practical coaching. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Her work is down-to-earth and aimed at helping people make steady, manageable progress.

Approaches that guide online care
Tara uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to meet different needs. One approach focuses on building practical coping skills for anxiety and stress so people can manage symptoms day to day and handle triggers more calmly. Another approach targets attention and impulsivity related to ADHD by teaching routines, planning strategies, and behavioral tools to improve focus and follow-through.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Tara works together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is helpful and what feels manageable for the individual.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well when visual connection helps the work, phone can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing skill practice between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different time zones.
