About Tara
Tara Jenkins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Pennsylvania with 10 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, anger, grief, parenting challenges, and mood concerns. Tara uses straightforward methods to help people manage strong feelings and everyday pressures.
She favors practical, evidence-informed approaches that help people notice patterns and change them. In sessions she talks through how thoughts, behaviors, and attachment needs interact. That often means learning clearer ways to communicate, practicing short exercises, and setting small, doable goals between meetings.
Tara draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at early relationship patterns that still affect reactions today. She also uses Client-Centered methods that keep the person’s experience central when deciding what to work on. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used for breaking cycles of worry, anger, or avoidance through observable steps.
Many people who come for help want fewer outbursts, less simmering resentment, or better skill at handling conflict at home or work. Tara also supports those managing loss, addiction issues, caregiver stress, or questions about life purpose. Sessions include concrete communication practice and homework that fits the client’s daily life.
Her work attends to cultural and identity factors that shape feelings and relationships. She encourages practical experiments in behavior and thought, then reviews what works. If someone wants to try therapy with Tara they begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to break unhelpful thought and behavior cycles with specific exercises and homework, useful for anger, anxiety, and mood concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tara will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. Together they test techniques, review results, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as these are not listed here.
