Tara Parisi brings a warm, practical approach to counseling.
01About Tara
Tara Parisi brings a warm, practical approach to counseling. She uses client-centered care first, listening closely and helping people identify strengths they already have. Tara holds the LMHC and LCPC credentials and has 24 years of experience working in mental health.
She aims to make therapy feel manageable and grounded for worried parents and busy adults. Her work focuses on everyday problems that pile up - stress, anxiety, parenting strain, relationship problems, and life changes.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing trauma, self-esteem struggles, anger, and issues with intimacy. Tara tailors sessions to each person instead of using a one-size-fits-all method. Tara draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
She uses narrative therapy to help clients reframe the stories they tell about themselves. Solution-focused ideas guide shorter-term goals and steps people can try between sessions. In session she listens without judgment and uses straightforward language.
She encourages practical skill-building, small experiments, and humor when it fits. Parents often find her approach useful for managing stress and improving communication at home. Tara believes therapy is a collaborative fit.
If the style isn’t right, she encourages honest feedback and will help point people toward other supports. Her aim is to help clients notice progress and use strengths to meet the goals they set.

How Tara’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy begins by focusing on the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people identify strengths and goals to build on. This style fits concerns like parenting stress, relationship strain, and self-esteem issues.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to link thoughts, feelings, and actions and to try small behavior changes. CBT helps with anxiety, panic, mood shifts, and managing unhelpful thinking patterns. Solution-focused work looks for practical next steps and short-term goals that can create quick relief and momentum.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try interventions together, and adjust methods based on how well they match the client’s goals and preferences. Clients help set the pace and priorities throughout treatment.
Online sessions can be done by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or when fitting therapy into a busy day. These formats offer flexibility to fit therapy into parenting schedules, work breaks, and other routines.
