About Tara
Tara Lineberry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LICSW, LCSW) practicing in Virginia with a decade of clinical experience.
Background and approach
She draws on a range of evidence-informed methods to help people navigate stress, anxiety, mood concerns, trauma, addiction, relationship and intimacy challenges, grief, body image and eating issues, and ADHD. Tara emphasizes building a trusting therapeutic connection and creating a neutral, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult thoughts and feelings.
Her approach centers on identifying strengths clients can use during hard times and supporting them as they translate insight into practical change. Tara brings experience addressing domestic violence, sexual assault, and complex trauma, and she integrates skills-based interventions alongside trauma-processing work to meet varied needs.
She offers flexible messaging and session options and encourages prospective clients to reach out and begin the matching process when they are ready to take that first step.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and teaches practical skills to change those patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding and shifting emotional responses and relational patterns, which can be helpful for intimacy and communication difficulties. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-processing approach that supports reprocessing distressing memories and easing their emotional intensity for people who have experienced abuse or significant traumatic events.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore needs, goals, and preferences and may combine elements from different methods to tailor care. This collaborative stance helps ensure interventions fit the client’s situation rather than imposing a single model.
Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer greater flexibility for fitting therapy into busy schedules and for accessing support from different locations. These options support ongoing contact between sessions and make it easier for people to engage in skill practice, message about day-to-day concerns, and maintain momentum in their work with a licensed professional.
