Tara Prom, LICSW

Tara Prom is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Minnesota. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, trauma, and parenting challenges. She keeps language simple and direct so worried parents can read quickly and feel understood.

Tara adapts conversations and plans to fit each person's situation. She listens with sensitivity and respect and works to build practical steps clients can use between sessions. Her approach aims to make problems feel more manageable day to day.

In sessions she uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, solution-focused work, and trauma-focused approaches. That means she helps people spot thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, clarifies small goals, and addresses past hurts when they affect current life.

She has eleven years of professional experience across settings that included supporting people with relationship strain, grief, anger, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and addiction issues. She also helps people struggling with attachment, isolation, blended family stress, and caregiver burden.

People who contact her can expect straightforward conversation and collaborative planning. The first session typically focuses on understanding immediate needs and choosing a few practical steps to try. Tara encourages steady progress and checks in on what is and isn’t working so plans can be adjusted.

How Tara's Approaches Work Online

Tara combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to address practical problems and past hurts. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps when past experiences continue to affect day-to-day functioning, using careful pacing and skills to manage strong emotions.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will ask about your goals, current challenges, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you will pick methods that match your needs and adjust them as you make progress so work stays focused and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper discussion. Phone is useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat or text messaging can be a shorter check-in or a way to track progress between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and let therapy fit into busy days.
