About Tara
Tara Parisi is a licensed mental health counselor - MA LMHC and ME LCPC - with 24 years of clinical experience in New Hampshire. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, and anger. Tara focuses on practical, usable skills people can apply between sessions.
She views therapy as a collaborative process. Tara listens first, then helps people notice strengths they already have. Sessions often include straightforward tools for managing mood, anxiety, panic, and anger. Humor and plain talk are part of her style.
Tara uses strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches, client-centered ideas, narrative techniques, and solutions-focused work. That means she helps clients spot patterns in thinking and behavior, rewrite difficult personal stories, and try small changes that show quick payoff.
Her background includes a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology with a concentration in Marriage and Family therapy. Over two decades she has supported adults, teens, couples, and families through life transitions, grief, parenting challenges, and career decisions.
People meet concrete steps in sessions: breathing and grounding for intense moments, thought-challenging for unhelpful beliefs, and short experiments to test new responses to conflict. Tara emphasizes honest communication about whether a particular approach is working and will help find another way if it isn’t.
Starting therapy can feel like finding the right fit. Tara encourages direct feedback about the work and will help connect people to other resources if her approach isn’t the best match.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Tara commonly draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered methods, and narrative therapy. CBT offers clear steps to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, panic, and anger. Client-centered work focuses on listening and building from a person’s strengths so they can try new behavior at their own pace. Narrative therapy helps people reframe difficult life stories and reduce the power of recurring complaints.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tara collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. She checks in about how an approach is going and switches course if something isn’t helpful.
Confirm available session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time that might otherwise block attending. These practical benefits help people try coping strategies between sessions and apply what they practice to real-life situations.
