About Tara
LMFT (California), 16 years' experience. Tara Boerner helps people manage stress and anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, and problems with addiction. She also works with intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder.
Tara frames clients as the experts on their own lives and focuses on practical steps that build on existing strengths. She encourages short, concrete goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Conversations center on what a person notices day to day and which changes feel realistic to try.
In sessions she listens for patterns that keep problems repeating. Then she helps people try small experiments to break those patterns. This can include changing unhelpful thinking, practicing new ways of responding, and rehearsing conversations that are difficult.
Tara has supported people through grief and loss and helped them reconnect with daily routines and responsibilities. She also addresses caregiver stress, isolation and loneliness, and workplace difficulties by mapping pressures and identifying manageable boundaries.
When trauma or panic symptoms are present she works at a pace the client can handle, focusing on symptom reduction and increasing a person's sense of control. She attends to guilt, shame, forgiveness, and issues around self-love as part of recovering balance.
To begin, Tara asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The subscription-based sessions may be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location.

How evidence-based techniques are used in online work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behavior. Cognitive approaches help people notice and reframe negative thoughts that feed anxiety and low mood. This can reduce panic attacks and social anxiety by teaching different ways to respond to distressing thoughts.Behavioral methods involve setting small, doable experiments. These may include graded exposure for panic or social fears, activity scheduling to lift mood, or rehearsing difficult conversations to improve relationships. Practical homework helps measure progress between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with the client to choose which techniques to try based on needs, goals, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time if something is not working.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, such as using shorter check-ins during a work break or avoiding travel time. They can also allow work on skills in the contexts where problems occur, which helps generalize changes into everyday routines.
