About Tara
Tara Boerner is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 16 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship tension, grief, addiction, trauma, and anger. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, intimacy concerns, self-esteem problems, and workplace stress.
Her practice treats everyday problems in straightforward terms. She helps people talk through relationship conflicts and family friction. She assists with managing strong feelings like rage, resentment, and frustration so those feelings interfere less with daily life.
Tara uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. She treats mood disorders, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress with methods shown to help people reduce symptoms and improve coping. She also addresses caregiver stress, guilt, shame, isolation, and issues common to women in midlife.
She believes clients bring knowledge about their own lives and she builds on those strengths. Sessions aim to identify patterns that keep problems going and to try manageable changes. Tara encourages small experiments to test new ways of responding to anger, anxiety, and relationship triggers.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Charges vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. She is based in California and does not accept international clients.
How evidence-based methods translate to remote work
Tara works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear tools and behavior changes. One commonly used approach is behavioral work that targets patterns of thinking and reacting; it teaches specific skills for managing anger, anxiety, and panic so people can test different responses in everyday situations. Another common method emphasizes processing difficult experiences and trauma through paced, structured work to reduce intense emotional reactions and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences together and try methods that fit personal priorities. That collaborative testing helps identify what actually helps the person feel and behave differently over time.
If you want to use online sessions, confirm current session options before booking since the profile did not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let clients continue care during life changes while working with licensed professionals to address anger, relationships, grief, and related concerns.
