About Tara

Tara Prom, LICSW, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma, or family conflict. She offers steady, respectful support for those dealing with low self-esteem, depression, grief, or major life changes. Her approach is straightforward and focused on the person in front of her. She welcomes the courage it takes to begin therapy and meets each person without judgment.

Tara uses practical methods to tailor sessions to individual needs. She draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to address effects of past harm and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also uses Client-Centered and Solution-Focused techniques to collaborate on goals and build actionable steps forward.

In sessions she listens first, then helps people set clear, doable goals. Conversations can include identifying patterns that keep problems going, practicing new ways of responding, and planning small changes between meetings. She aims to make therapy feel like a partnership where the client's priorities guide the work.

Tara holds a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker credential in Minnesota and has eleven years of professional experience. Her background includes supporting people through caregiving stress, addiction concerns, relationship strain, and adjustment to life transitions. She offers services in English.

If someone wants to begin, they follow the site's start process to match and schedule a session. The structure of sessions and timing is arranged after that initial match to fit each person's needs and availability.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Tara uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process and reduce the ongoing impacts of past harm. That approach focuses on understanding how traumatic events affect daily life and teaching ways to lessen their hold. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practices new ways of thinking and acting to improve mood and coping.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Tara will listen to a person's history, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods that match those needs. The plan is collaborative and can change as progress is made or priorities shift.

If you are considering online therapy, check the site to confirm which session options are available before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful for fitting therapy into a busy routine, allowing shorter check-ins or easier scheduling around work and caregiving. Online appointments can also reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep a consistent meeting rhythm. Licensed professionals guide each step so sessions stay focused on practical goals and steady progress.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing trauma-focused therapy does not mean a therapist holds a specific certification such as TF-CBT, EMDR or CPT.
