About Tara

Tara Hiller is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Washington who centers her work on helping people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD, mood concerns, and relationship or identity-related challenges.

Background and approach

With 18 years of clinical experience, she brings steady, client-focused care to those navigating trauma, grief, self-esteem struggles, addictions, and life transitions. Tara emphasizes respect for each person’s values and goals while offering practical skills for coping and change.

Her approach blends evidence-based strategies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness with a client-centered stance that prioritizes the therapeutic relationship.

She has worked in both personal and public settings and draws on that range to tailor interventions for issues like parenting, gender dysphoria, adoption and foster care concerns, panic symptoms, and multicultural stressors. Tara aims to partner with clients to identify barriers and develop realistic steps toward greater wellbeing, resilience, and clearer direction in life.

How Tara’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take purposeful action even when difficult thoughts and feelings arise; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be effective for panic symptoms, mood disorders, ADHD-related challenges, and sleep or eating concerns. Mindfulness Therapy trains present-moment awareness and self-compassion skills that can support emotion regulation, stress reduction, and trauma recovery.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to identify goals, try applicable techniques, and adjust the plan based on what resonates and produces progress. Clients are invited to bring their preferences and feedback so the therapeutic path fits their needs and life circumstances.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and practice skills between sessions with ongoing support from a licensed professional.
