About Tara
LMHC in Washington with 8 years of experience, Tara Brown helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, low self-esteem, and mood concerns. She works with teens and adults and supports people facing grief, parenting strain, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and life transitions. Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her clinical approaches listed below.
Tara uses straightforward talk therapy combined with practical skills. She draws on client-centered work to listen and build rapport. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
For trauma and abuse, she may incorporate EMDR elements alongside mindfulness practices to help reduce the intensity of painful memories. Motivational interviewing is used when motivation is low or when someone is trying to change addictive behaviors or habits.
In a typical session she will check current concerns, set a small goal, and practice one or two skills to try between meetings. Parents can expect conversations that focus on managing stress and supporting young adult transitions rather than family therapy sessions. She frames change as a step-by-step process and works collaboratively on practical strategies.
Tara’s credential is Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC. Her stated focus areas include disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD), mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, self-harm, social anxiety, veteran and armed forces issues, guilt and shame, and young adult issues.

How these approaches are used in remote work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. The therapist prioritizes the client’s concerns and collaborates on goals. This helps people feel heard and decide what to work on next.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing different ways of thinking. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. In short segments clients learn concrete tools they can use during stressful moments or when managing strong emotions.
Finding the right method is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences, and together they will try approaches that fit. That collaborative testing helps adjust techniques over time to match what works.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can assign simple between-session practices, walk through skills together, and use structured exercises suited to video or phone conversations.
