About Tara
Tara Fulton-Butzlaff is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Mississippi with 16 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, motivation, and coping with life changes. Her work also includes support for grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and anger.
Tara keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens for what causes frustration and teaches skills to interrupt reactive patterns. Conversations focus on real situations at work, home, and relationships so people can try small changes between meetings.
Her approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to build clearer thinking and healthier responses. She works together with clients to identify triggers, practice new ways of handling intense feelings, and track what helps over time. Progress is measured by what changes in daily life rather than by labels.
Tara also addresses issues that often sit behind anger, such as guilt, shame, infidelity concerns, jealousy, and family of origin problems. She supports people dealing with workplace stress, career decisions, and the effects of prejudice and discrimination. Young adult issues and LGBT concerns are part of her practice as well.
Practical tools and steady feedback are part of her sessions. Clients can expect clear options for coping skills, communication strategies, and pacing that fits their lives. To begin, she asks people to describe what they want to change so work can start on the most pressing problems.
Evidence-based approaches and online practice
Tara uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. She emphasizes methods that help people recognize the thoughts and situations that lead to anger, and then teaches concrete skills to respond differently. These approaches are useful for stress, anxiety, relationship tension, and managing strong emotions.She also works with approaches that build communication and problem-solving skills. These methods help people address relationship strains, workplace conflicts, and patterns rooted in family of origin or past hurts. Sessions often include role practice and step-by-step plans to try between meetings.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Tara will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them as needed based on progress and daily life demands.
