About Tara

Tara Brown is a Washington-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults and teens who are facing concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, and ADHD, helping clients build motivation, self-esteem, and confidence while navigating life transitions.

Background and approach

Her practice emphasizes an accepting, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore difficult thoughts and emotions and set practical goals for change. Drawing from an array of evidence-informed methods, she tailors sessions to each person’s needs, often integrating cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, EMDR, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing when appropriate.

Tara aims to empower people to develop coping skills, reduce distress, and strengthen resilience through collaborative work that centers personal values and real-world progress. She encourages taking small, sustained steps toward a more fulfilling life and supports clients through those early, sometimes challenging changes.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on building an empathic, accepting relationship where clients are guided to explore their values and goals; online formats can preserve this supportive stance while allowing conversations to unfold at the client's pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured work on thoughts, behaviors, and practical skills for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges, often using homework and behavior experiments that translate well to digital sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can be incorporated when appropriate to address trauma-related symptoms, using adapted protocols suitable for remote delivery by a trained clinician.

Determining which approach or combination will best fit a person is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and past responses to treatment and then recommend methods to try, adjusting strategies as progress and feedback guide the work. This shared decision-making helps ensure that the plan feels workable and aligned with the client's priorities.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity during life transitions, reduce travel time, and access support from home or other familiar environments while working with licensed professionals.
