About Tara
LICSW in Minnesota with six years of clinical experience, Tara Wickelgren helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship difficulties. She supports work on self-esteem, communication, social anxiety, isolation and forgiveness. Tara uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and focuses on practical steps clients can use between sessions.
Tara structures sessions to identify clear goals and small, measurable changes. She talks through coping skills for anxiety and stress while also addressing patterns that affect relationships. When trauma or abuse is part of the picture, she works at a pace set by the client and uses approaches backed by research.
She pays attention to how people relate to themselves and others. Conversations include building self-love, improving communication, and practicing forgiveness. Tara offers concrete tools, like grounding strategies and communication exercises, that clients can try in daily life.
Her six years of practice include both short-term work on specific problems and longer-term counseling for more complex concerns. Progress is reviewed regularly so goals stay relevant and sessions stay focused.
Tara speaks English and works with adults in Minnesota. People who want to begin can use the site matching process to schedule an initial appointment and discuss the best way to proceed.

How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Two common evidence-based approaches she relies on are practical skill-building for anxiety and trauma-informed work. Skill-building focuses on learning small, repeatable techniques to reduce anxious symptoms and manage stress in daily life. Trauma-informed work moves at the client’s pace and addresses the ways past events affect current relationships and behavior.She also emphasizes improving communication through structured practice. That includes guided exercises to change interaction patterns and to build clearer self-expression with others. These methods are chosen because they lead to specific, measurable changes clients can notice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients help choose which strategies to keep and which to modify so the work fits their needs and preferences.
Confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit would be difficult. Ask about the session types offered during the initial scheduling step so arrangements match your routine and technical needs.
