About Tara
Tara Barbaro is a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 10 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, anger, and career or life transitions.
She focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. Sessions look at what is causing tension and what changes can reduce it. She pays attention to both immediate coping skills and longer-term habits that influence mood and behavior.
Tara uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a collaborative working relationship where the client's goals guide the work. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and to test new ways of behaving. Solution-Focused Therapy helps keep sessions focused on small, achievable changes that add up over time.
Her experience includes grief and end-of-life concerns, caregiver stress, veteran and armed forces issues, and matters related to aging. She also supports people facing divorce or separation and those seeking to build self-love and address women’s issues.
Tara conducts sessions in English and practices in Florida. International clients are not currently accepted. If cost or scheduling matters are relevant, her sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Tara uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and following the client’s goals. That approach helps clarify what matters most and shapes each session around the client’s priorities.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to name patterns of thinking that fuel anger or anxiety and to practice different responses. Solution-Focused Therapy keeps sessions practical by identifying small steps clients can try between meetings.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tara will discuss which methods match a person’s goals and preferences, and then adapt the work as progress is observed. That means trying techniques, reviewing what works, and adjusting the plan together.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use the same CBT and solution-focused tools effectively in remote sessions, helping people practice new skills in their everyday routine.
