About Tara
Tara Parisi is a licensed mental health counselor with 24 years of experience. She holds an MA and practices as an LMHC and LCPC in New Hampshire. Tara works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, trauma and anger among other issues.
Tara focuses on helping people notice and use their existing strengths. She prefers straightforward, practical work. Sessions often include listening, clear feedback, and strategies you can try between meetings. She aims to make therapy feel like a good fit rather than a checklist to complete.
Her methods draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered approaches, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused techniques, and Trauma-Focused strategies. That mix lets her offer skill-based tools for anxiety and mood, talk through relationship patterns, and address painful past experiences. She explains techniques in everyday language and checks in about what is most helpful.
Tara has worked across many life stages and situations, including parenting strain, career stress, grief, and life transitions. She uses humor and direct conversation where appropriate, and encourages open communication about how sessions are going. If a particular approach does not feel like a fit, she talks through other options or referrals.
People meet her for help with panic, obsessions and compulsions, self-esteem concerns, loneliness, and communication problems. Her aim is to support practical changes in daily life and relationships, helping clients try small steps that can make routines and interactions easier.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people find their own solutions. It is useful when someone wants a therapist who will hear their concerns and help them clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete exercises to change patterns. It tends to help with anxiety, mood, anger, and panic symptoms.Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and helps rewrite those stories in ways that reduce blame and open options. Together these methods give both practical tools and space to understand how past experiences shape current reactions. Tara works with clients to choose which approach to try and adjusts based on what works in real life.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as specific online options are not listed here. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy week easier. It can allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or remove the need to be on camera if that helps. The therapist and client decide together what will fit the client’s schedule and goals.
