Tara Wojtkunski, LPC

Tara Wojtkunski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and stress. She also supports those coping with life changes and people managing bipolar disorder. Tara aims to make the first step feel manageable and respects the courage it takes to begin.

Tara keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on small, doable steps that can ease day-to-day struggles.

Her practice draws from several approaches, including cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance and commitment ideas, and client-centered listening. That mix lets her help clients notice unhelpful thinking patterns, build coping skills, and clarify personal values. Sessions often include skill practice and collaborative goal-setting.

Tara has 12 years of experience working with a range of concerns related to trauma, self-esteem, workplace and career stress, and identity issues such as LGBT matters and gender dysphoria. She also supports people dealing with grief, guilt and shame, and challenges tied to chronic conditions like HIV/AIDS.

People who prefer different ways of communicating can meet by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Tara uses whatever format best fits a client’s needs and life rhythm. She explains options and helps pick a path that feels workable.

How these approaches translate to online sessions

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. Online sessions using CBT often include short exercises, thought records, and homework to practice between meetings, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify personal values and accept difficult feelings without getting stuck. In remote sessions, ACT uses mindfulness exercises and values-based action plans to help clients move toward the life they want.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and supporting the client's own pace of change. Online formats let the therapist provide steady, nonjudgmental support while clients lead the focus and goals of their work.

Choosing the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what's felt helpful so far, and will adjust methods as the work progresses. That collaborative process helps find the right mix of skills and support.

Online meetings are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video works well for full conversations and skill practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping the focus on progress.
