About Tara
Tara Levine is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people who carry a lot but appear to be holding it together. Common concerns she addresses include anxiety, depression, anger, substance use, trauma, relationship difficulties, and trouble with self-esteem.
Tara sees clients who feel stuck in repeating patterns. She focuses on what is actually happening and why certain reactions keep coming up. Her approach is direct and practical. Clients are offered clear steps they can try between sessions.
Her background includes work across multiple levels of care, including higher-acuity settings. That experience informs how she supports people coping with complex stress, mood problems, and post-traumatic stress. She also works with issues related to bipolar disorder and addictions, including drug and alcohol concerns.
In sessions she uses evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). These tools are applied to help with anger, communication breakdowns, and managing intense feelings. The focus is on skills that fit into everyday life.
Tara aims for therapy that feels straightforward and real. She helps clients identify patterns, practice alternative responses, and notice incremental change. Getting practical help for anger, stress, or relationship strain is presented as a step-by-step process rather than a one-time fix.
How ACT, CBT and DBT inform online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then choose actions that align with their values. It is useful for chronic anger, avoidance, and when frustration has become automatic. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns that lead to strong reactions and testing different ways of thinking and behaving. It works well for workplace anger, anxiety, and mood problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can reduce impulsive reactions and heated exchanges.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Tara approaches this collaboratively and will help decide which tools fit a person's goals and everyday demands. That means trying practical skills, checking how they land, and adjusting as needed rather than committing to one way up front.
The biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm the available options before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a break, reduced travel time, or fewer technical demands when bandwidth is low. Licensed professionals often use the same skill teaching and practice exercises online as in person, which lets people build new responses to anger and stress while keeping therapy manageable.
