How her approaches translate to online therapy

Tara commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy in her work. CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve sleep or mood. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and helps reframe those stories to support new choices and clearer purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tara works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in about what is and isn't helping and adjusts techniques over time so sessions stay useful and focused.

Session options are not listed in the profile, so confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a workday, sessions that avoid travel time, or options that do not require being on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and narrative exercises to an online setting to keep sessions practical and goal oriented.
