About Tara
Tara Prom is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges. She works with concerns like low self-esteem, grief, parenting stress, and mood concerns including bipolar disorder. Tara aims to make the first step feel manageable and acknowledges that reaching out takes courage.
She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Sessions are shaped to match what the client needs, focusing on practical steps and steady progress rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. Conversations are collaborative and paced to the person’s comfort.
Over the course of 11 years as a LICSW - licensed independent clinical social worker - Tara has worked across a range of concerns from addiction and codependency to caregiver stress and disruptive mood dysregulation. That experience informs a pragmatic style that blends talking through problems with skills people can practice between sessions.
Tara uses several therapeutic approaches to fit different needs. She draws on client-centered methods to build a trusting relationship, cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful patterns, and solution-focused techniques to set concrete goals. When trauma is present, trauma-focused work helps address painful memories in a careful way.
People who choose her report a steady, respectful working style that focuses on small changes that add up. If you want straightforward support that adapts to your situation, Tara frames the work around your goals and what matters most to you.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead and builds trust. It helps when someone needs listening, validation, and help clarifying what they want to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and break patterns that get in the way of daily life.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, concrete goals and steps that move a person toward what they want. It’s useful when someone wants tangible progress in a shorter time frame.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and choose or adapt methods together. That collaborative process helps ensure the plan fits the person and their situation.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing sessions during breaks or from home. Some formats also let people use shorter check-ins or avoid video when bandwidth is limited, which can make regular care more practical.
