How Tara’s approaches fit into online therapy

Client-centered therapy places your goals at the center and focuses on listening and understanding. In practice this means sessions aim to reflect your concerns back so you can decide the next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a method used for trauma-related memories and can help reduce the intensity of distressing recall.

Tara treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with you about your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That plan can shift over time based on what feels most helpful to you.
