About Tara
Tara Brown is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and life changes. She works with adults and young adults who want practical steps to manage symptoms and build steadier routines. She often supports people dealing with grief, addiction struggles, and concerns linked to trauma and self-worth.
In sessions she keeps the tone straightforward and accepting. Clients can expect a calm space to talk through what’s most pressing and to set clear, doable goals.
Background and approach
She uses short exercises and real-life strategies rather than lengthy lectures or vague plans. Tara draws on several evidence-based methods to match a person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and shift daily habits.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for emotional regulation and coping in intense moments. She may also use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for people coping with traumatic memories. Her background includes eight years of work in Washington supporting people with mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, ADHD, and issues like guilt, shame, and social anxiety.
She holds a Washington license as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, and conducts sessions in English. Practical concerns are part of the plan. Tara can adapt sessions for different rhythms of life, using brief check-ins, skill practice, or longer weekly sessions depending on what helps a person make steady progress.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s priorities first and focuses on listening and understanding. This approach helps people feel heard while they decide what changes matter most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thinking patterns and daily habits, then introduces practical exercises to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Dialetical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and handling conflict with less reactive behavior. These methods can be mixed to suit a person’s goals, and the therapist will work together with each client to find the best combination based on needs and preferences.
Online sessions use video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit a busy life. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and real-time skill practice. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, tracking skills, or when a person prefers typed communication. These options make it easier to keep momentum and apply new skills between appointments.
