About Tara

LISW in Ohio with six years of experience, Tara J. May helps people facing stress, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, career questions, compassion fatigue, and life changes. She works with adults who want practical ways to cope and clearer thinking about their next steps.

Tara uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She focuses on skills that reduce anxiety and improve mood. Sessions emphasize straightforward strategies people can use between meetings.

In practice she blends cognitive tools with person-centered listening and solution-focused steps. That means clients talk through what's happening now, test small changes, and evaluate what works. Mindfulness practices are used when they fit a person's preferences and goals.

Tara describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps clients set clear goals, track progress, and change unhelpful patterns. Conversations tend to be practical and outcome-oriented rather than abstract.

She holds an LISW credential, which is shown as OH LISW in her documentation. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, a person chooses the See online therapy options button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a first session. Confirm current session formats before booking so the arrangement fits daily life and commitments.

How her methods translate to online sessions

She commonly works with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness-based practices. Cognitive methods involve identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing alternative ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness strategies teach simple attention and breathing skills to lower stress and increase emotional awareness.

She also uses solution-focused steps that break problems into small, testable changes. These steps are practical and aim to produce manageable progress between meetings. Choosing which approaches to use is collaborative; the therapist and client decide together based on the person’s goals, situation, and what feels most workable.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as the original biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. Phone sessions can be useful when internet bandwidth is limited, and video sessions let people use visual cues during conversations. Talk with the therapist during the matching process to arrange the session style that fits daily life best.
