About Tara

Tara Coleman is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and major life changes. She aims to create a calm, approachable space where clients can talk through what feels hard and learn practical ways to cope. Tara uses plain language and real-world tools in sessions.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, rewrite painful stories, and practice being present.

Background and approach

Motivational Interviewing and psychodynamic ideas shape how she supports motivation and deeper understanding of patterns. Her work often focuses on issues such as relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, grief, anger, and career stress. She also supports people managing ADHD, panic, post-traumatic stress, compassion fatigue, and body image or sexuality questions.

Tara pays attention to attachment and communication patterns that affect daily life. Sessions typically involve clear goals, concrete strategies, and chances to reflect on progress. Clients can expect straightforward suggestions, short practice tasks between sessions, and checking what changes feel useful.

The tone is supportive and down-to-earth rather than clinical. Tara has eight years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW. She works with adults from different backgrounds and accepts international clients.

Services are offered through video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit varied schedules.

How Narrative and CBT Shape Online Sessions

Online therapy with Tara blends Narrative Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness practices. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves - sessions work on separating a person from a problem and finding alternative, more useful narratives. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers concrete exercises to change reactions to stress, anxiety, or panic.

Mindfulness Therapy supports noticing the present moment and building small habits to reduce reactivity. These approaches help with relationship worries, panic attacks, grief, self-esteem, and life transitions by combining reflection with practical steps. Tara treats finding the right mix as a team task; she asks about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, then tailors the plan together with each person.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and seeing facial cues. Phone sessions can fit a short check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are handy for brief updates, tracking practice exercises, or checking in between appointments. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, travel, or caregiving responsibilities while keeping therapy consistent and focused.
