Tara Barbaro is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. She brings about 10 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. Tara focuses on practical steps that fit daily life and meets people with respect and compassion.

She uses a tailored approach that centers the person's goals and strengths. Conversations are shaped to your needs, with a plan that aims for small, achievable changes. Sessions often focus on building confidence, coping skills, and clearer thinking about next steps.

Tara has worked with people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, and career challenges. She also supports those dealing with trauma, anger, and major life transitions.

Tara describes her style as warm and straightforward. She helps clients identify practical ways to reduce worry and lift mood. Over time she works with people to develop habits that support long-term wellbeing.

If you are considering therapy, Tara encourages a collaborative process. She will listen to what matters to you, outline options, and adjust direction as your needs change.

Approaches that guide online work

Tara draws from client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening, respect, and working around your priorities. This approach focuses on understanding your perspective and building on your strengths to move toward your goals.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, which looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical strategies to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns because it targets daily thoughts and actions.

Solution-focused therapy is part of her toolkit as well; it aims at small, concrete changes you can try right away. That approach helps when you want to focus on specific goals and quick steps toward improvement.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with you about your needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. You and the therapist will adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Session logistics should fit into everyday life. Because formats are not listed in the biography, confirm the available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule around work or caregiving, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy fits into a busy day.
