About Tara
Tara Parisi is a licensed counselor who brings 24 years of experience to her work. She uses a narrative-informed, client-centered approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and trauma. Tara writes simply and listens closely to what matters most to each person she meets.
She focuses on real-life problems like panic attacks, mood struggles, obsessive thoughts, and life transitions such as divorce or career change. Sessions are practical and grounded, aimed at identifying strengths people already have and using those strengths to make change.
Background and approach
Tara uses clear, everyday language and a warm, down-to-earth style. Her work draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused methods alongside Narrative and Trauma-Focused ideas. That mix helps people rewrite unhelpful stories, test new behaviors, and try short-term strategies when needed.
Tara tailors methods to the person rather than following a fixed plan. People who meet with her can expect a calm listener who uses humor and direct feedback when appropriate. She encourages honest communication and checks in about what is and isn’t working.
If her way of working doesn’t feel like a fit, she will help point someone toward other options. Tara trained in counseling psychology with a concentration in marriage and family therapy and holds MA LMHC and ME LCPC credentials. She practices from New Hampshire and offers multiple online session formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Tara directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How these approaches work online
Many clients find Narrative Therapy useful for naming the stories that shape their choices and relationships. In short sessions this looks like noticing repeated patterns, then trying new ways of describing problems so different options become visible. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust so clients feel heard and can connect with their own strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people test specific thoughts and behaviors with short experiments to reduce anxiety or mood symptoms.Tara treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that feel appropriate, and adjust plans if something isn’t working. That collaborative process helps match techniques to the problem rather than locking into a single style.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, chat can fit brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or school commitments.
