About Tara
Tara Wright-Mitchell is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, and depression. She supports those facing life transitions and those wanting to build confidence and motivation. Her tone is encouraging and straightforward, aimed at people who need practical help and steady support.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about difficult feelings and worries. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that can be tried between meetings. Tara emphasizes listening first, then working together to find what helps in daily life.
Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take meaningful action, and mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and client-centered techniques also shape how she guides sessions.
With 20 years of practice as an FL LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor), she combines experience with a flexible style. Tara aims to meet each person where they are and adapt strategies to individual needs. Work is collaborative and paced to the client’s comfort.
People reach out for help with codependency, attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family stress, caregiver strain, body image doubts, and communication or control issues. The focus is on helping clients build tools they can use outside sessions to manage emotions and improve relationships.
Approaches used in online sessions and what they do
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small meaningful steps toward those values, which can help with anxiety and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviors to reduce worry and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away, useful for stress and emotion regulation.Choosing the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit your situation. Over a few sessions, adjustments are made so the work feels useful and realistic for day-to-day life.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific online formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for consistent check-ins during life transitions. It also makes shorter or more frequent visits possible for focused skill practice. Discuss scheduling and format preferences when you start so sessions can be arranged to match your needs.
