About Tara

Tara Brown is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington with eight years of experience supporting both teens and adults. She focuses on a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, bipolar disorder, ADHD, parenting challenges, and self-esteem issues. Her practice also addresses disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, self-harm, veteran and armed forces issues, social anxiety, and other mood and trauma-related concerns.

Known for fostering an open, nonjudgmental environment, she works collaboratively with people to explore thoughts and feelings and to build motivation, confidence, and practical coping skills. Tara tailors treatment plans to individual needs and may draw from evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), client-centered techniques, and mindfulness approaches when appropriate. She also has experience with motivational and compassion-focused strategies to support change and emotional healing.

Tara emphasizes that seeking help is a courageous step and aims to empower clients as they move toward greater fulfillment and well-being. She offers compassionate, goal-oriented care that adapts to each person’s pace and priorities.

Approaches and accessibility for online therapeutic care

Tara Brown integrates several established therapeutic approaches into online care to address mood, trauma, and behavior concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, often supporting clients who struggle with intense emotions or self-harm urges. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-informed method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their ongoing emotional impact, making it relevant for people coping with past abuse or post-traumatic stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tara works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time so therapy aligns with what helps most. She frames treatment as a partnership aimed at practical progress and increased resilience.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and other commitments. For many people, remote sessions increase accessibility and allow consistent, ongoing support from licensed professionals and therapists without travel or lengthy waits.
