About Tara
Tara Levine is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people who appear composed on the outside but feel overwhelmed by anxiety, repeating patterns, or relationship struggles.
Background and approach
She focuses on clients who find themselves stuck - whether from stress, mood shifts, substance use, or past trauma - and aims to make therapy practical and applicable to everyday life. Her style blends support with straightforward guidance.
Tara helps clients identify the behaviors and thoughts that perpetuate distress, explains why those patterns arise, and works collaboratively to develop realistic strategies that stick. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with acceptance and skills-based approaches to address concerns such as depression, bipolar symptoms, addictions, post-traumatic stress, anger, intimacy issues, and communication problems.
With nine years of clinical experience across multiple levels of care, Tara has experience with both common life stressors and more complex presentations. She strives to create a therapeutic space that feels authentic rather than overly clinical, where clients can explore what’s happening for them and begin to notice practical changes in daily life.
Practical therapy approaches for online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing new skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes learning to notice difficult feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying personal values to guide meaningful action. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for people struggling with intense emotions and relationship conflicts.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore which methods align with their goals, preferences, and needs, adjusting techniques over time so treatment feels relevant and effective for everyday life.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are impractical. These formats provide flexibility for ongoing skill practice, check-ins between sessions, and multiple ways to communicate depending on what feels most helpful for the client.
