About Tara
Tara Levine greets people who feel like they are holding it together on the outside while things feel heavier inside. She focuses on helping those who are overwhelmed, stuck, or seeing the same patterns repeat - for example with anxiety, overthinking, low mood, or relationship troubles. Tara aims to keep sessions practical and grounded so changes can show up in everyday life.
Her approach is straightforward and supportive. She helps people identify what keeps those patterns running and then tries out concrete steps to change them.
Background and approach
Tara uses straightforward tools so new habits feel realistic and doable between sessions. Tara is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, with nine years of experience. Her work has included higher-acuity settings as well as routine outpatient care, so she has seen a wide range of concerns from substance use to trauma and mood issues.
Common areas she addresses include addictions, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, stress and anxiety, anger and self-esteem, and intimacy-related concerns. She also focuses on communication problems, drug and alcohol addiction, and post-traumatic stress. Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative.
Tara helps people try specific skills, notice what changes, and adjust plans as needed. The goal is steady, manageable improvement rather than quick fixes.
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice what matters most and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are hard. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and for people stuck in unhelpful routines. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life experiences, with clear exercises to reduce symptoms like worry and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes building practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling relationship stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Tara will collaborate with each person to see which methods make the most sense given their goals and daily life. She adapts techniques and checks in to see what helps, so treatment stays useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a deeper exchange is helpful. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, checking in between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into varied schedules and needs while using the approaches above in practical ways.
