About Tara
Tara Barbaro is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with ten years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and anger. She also addresses career concerns and coping with life changes.
Her approach centers on straightforward conversation and practical steps. Tara uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters to the person in front of her. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thinking patterns that fuel distress. Solution-focused strategies are used to set clear, manageable goals and track progress.
Sessions aim to make small changes feel doable. Tara helps people break larger problems into concrete steps. She talks through ways to reduce reactivity, manage frustration, and rebuild trust in relationships. For grief and loss she offers space to name what’s been lost and to find ways forward.
Over her career she has supported people through caregiving stress, aging and geriatric concerns, divorce and separation, hospice and end-of-life issues, and matters affecting veterans. She also helps those working on self-love and women’s issues. Her work is practical and focused on what can change now.
Tara asks clients to take part in shaping treatment goals. She uses evidence-informed tools but keeps the work grounded in daily life. To begin, clients complete a brief questionnaire and schedule an initial session to see how the therapist and approach fit together.
How her approaches guide online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people feel heard and clarifies priorities so next steps are clearer.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and reduce distress from anxiety, anger, or low mood.
Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, achievable goals. It helps people identify what already works and build on those strengths to move forward more quickly.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Tara will collaborate with each person to decide which methods make the most sense given their goals and daily life. That choice is revisited as progress is made.
