About Tara
Tara holds licenses as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Iowa. With 19 years of experience, she draws on approaches that match each person’s needs. Sessions focus on the thoughts, feelings, and patterns that keep someone stuck while also highlighting their strengths.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She helps clients try small, intentional changes and notices what works. Common goals include improving communication, managing mood and anxiety, handling parenting or family stresses, and coping with major life changes.
Tara uses several evidence-based tools in session, including Trauma-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and EMDR when appropriate. She tailors techniques to a person’s pace and preferences rather than forcing a single method.
Reaching out for help can feel hard, especially if you usually manage on your own. Tara aims to walk alongside people as they begin that process, offering steady support and practical strategies rather than judgment.
How these approaches can work online
Tara commonly uses Trauma-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on addressing upsetting memories and body responses so daily life feels less disrupted. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, acceptance, and following the client’s lead to build trust and clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at unhelpful thought patterns and tries practical skills to change reactions and behavior.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tara collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts pace and techniques so clients feel able to try what might help most.
If you are interested in online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, cut travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt trauma-focused or skills-based exercises for remote sessions, and Tara will discuss how to make the chosen approach practical and manageable for your routine.
