Tara Coleman, LCSW

Tara Coleman is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. She uses a warm, straightforward style to make difficult conversations easier to begin. Tara aims to help clients build practical skills for everyday life and recover a sense of direction and confidence.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes that can ease symptoms. Mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions to help people notice how they respond to stress and choose different reactions. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone needs help finding their own reasons to change.

Her approach treats each person as the expert in their own life. Sessions focus on concrete steps, skill practice, and unpacking patterns that keep problems stuck. Tara also uses narrative and psychodynamic ideas to understand how past relationships and stories shape current struggles.

Tara has eight years of clinical experience and holds the LCSW credential, practicing in Florida. She works with a wide range of concerns including intimacy-related issues, ADHD, trauma and post-traumatic stress, panic attacks, relationship and communication problems, and career or life purpose questions.

People who choose her often want practical tools paired with thoughtful listening. She helps clients set achievable goals, try new habits, and track progress over time. Sessions aim to be collaborative and focused on the changes the client cares about most.

Approaches you can use online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice patterns of thought that increase anxiety or low mood and then try manageable behavior changes to test different outcomes. It is often used for anxiety, panic, depression, and stress-related problems.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of thoughts and feelings. It can help with chronic stress, rumination, and improving emotional regulation.

Tara will work with clients to find the best approach for their goals. Early sessions focus on what matters most to the client, what has helped before, and what feels doable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is tracked over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions may be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messages can support brief check-ins, homework review, or timely encouragement between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into work, family, or travel schedules.
