More about Tara
- 4 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC, LPCC
I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with about 4 years of clinical counseling experience and approximately 10 years in the mental health field working in various settings. I have experience in helping clients manage a wide range of stressors such as depression, anxiety, body image, career difficulties, relationships, grief, and life transitions. I have also helped those dealing with a chronic illness diagnosis and those finding themselves in the correctional or penal system. I desire to provide an open, collaborative, and safe environment to work with my clients where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.
Theoretically speaking, I have a Solution-Focused approach but I mainly value the therapeutic relationship and want to identify what works best for you. I aim to only use evidence based techniques based out of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address your individual concerns. I desire to assist you in reaching your goals that will ultimately uplift your mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. I am so glad you are here.
I look forward to the opportunity to speak with you!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
