About Tara

Tara Prom is a licensed social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the complex effects of trauma.

Background and approach

With an LICSW and over 11 years of clinical practice in Minnesota, she supports individuals navigating relationship challenges, grief, parenting struggles, and issues like ADHD and compassion fatigue. Tara emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion as the foundation of her work, shaping treatment to each person’s circumstances and goals.

Her approach blends active, evidence-informed strategies with a collaborative, client-centered stance. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside solution-focused and trauma-informed techniques to help clients build skills, shift unhelpful patterns, and move toward practical solutions.

Tara aims to meet people where they are, listening closely and adapting the pace and focus of sessions so the plan fits each person’s needs and priorities.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that adapt to your needs

Client-centered therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of the work, emphasizing active listening, empathy, and collaboration to identify what matters most to the client and to tailor goals and pacing accordingly. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical skills to reframe thoughts and change responses; it can be helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day challenges. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on building immediate, achievable steps toward the client’s goals by amplifying strengths and past successes rather than dwelling on problems.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist works with each client to explore which methods fit their needs, values, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so the work stays relevant and effective. This collaborative stance helps ensure treatment feels useful and aligned with the client’s priorities.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule care around work, family, and other responsibilities. These formats support ongoing skill practice, brief check-ins, or more in-depth sessions, giving clients multiple ways to engage with a licensed professional from wherever they are.
