About Tara
Tara Fischer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults and individuals on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and trauma. Sessions are conducted in English and address both immediate problems and longer-term patterns.
She uses a client-centered framework that puts the person’s own goals and perspective first. Within that frame she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas, and solution-focused techniques. That means sessions often mix practical skills, behavioral experiments, and focused problem-solving alongside open discussion about what matters to the client.
Her background includes work with people who have autism and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and experience supporting those coping with past abuse, postpartum mood changes, and social anxiety. She also helps people facing family stress, adoption and foster care issues, blended family challenges, and loneliness.
Tara aims to help clients notice patterns that feed anger, resentment, or repeated conflict. Practical steps commonly covered include identifying triggers, testing small behavior changes, and learning emotion regulation strategies from DBT and CBT. Solution-focused moments are used to set short-term goals and measure progress.
