About Tara

Tara Hummel is a licensed clinician who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, substance-related concerns, trauma, grief, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With 12 years of experience, she brings practical skills and empathy to work with clients facing ADHD-related challenges alongside issues such as parenting, relationships, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Tara also addresses related areas including autism and Asperger syndrome, communication problems, divorce and separation, and women's issues.

Her background includes years supporting children and adolescents with autism and behavioral needs, and extensive experience assisting people with alcohol and drug addiction. She has facilitated grief-focused programs for young people and draws on that work when helping clients process loss and complicated emotions.

Tara holds licenses as an LMHC and an LPC and practices in Florida, blending several therapeutic styles to match each person's needs. In sessions she aims to treat clients with dignity, respect, and compassion while using evidence-informed strategies.

Her goal is to help clients build hope and move toward a more fulfilling future by combining practical tools, trauma-aware techniques, and exploration of deeper patterns that influence behavior and relationships.

Approaches and online options for healing and change



Tara commonly integrates client-centered therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the client's priorities guide the process and emotional understanding is central. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaching concrete skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also uses EMDR for trauma-focused work when appropriate; EMDR involves guided attention and processing to help reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and associated distress. These approaches are chosen to address trauma, grief, addiction-related challenges, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes in ways that can be both immediately practical and deeply restorative.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist collaborates with each person to determine goals and preferences, and adjusts techniques based on what is most helpful. Clients are invited to provide feedback so the plan evolves with their needs.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide scheduling flexibility and easier access from different locations. These formats allow continuity of care and make it possible to use CBT tools, client-centered conversation, and trauma-focused work like EMDR in ways that fit a client's routine and comfort.
