About Tara
Tara Barbaro is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Florida with 10 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, and parenting concerns. She also focuses on caregiving stress, aging and geriatric issues, and life changes such as divorce or end-of-life care.
Tara uses straightforward conversation and practical methods to help people manage daily pressures. She draws on client-centered approaches to listen and build on each person's strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify helpful thinking patterns and to practice small behavior changes.
Sessions are structured so people can set clear goals and track progress. Solution-focused work helps when someone wants quicker, action-oriented steps for a specific problem. Tara aims to match the pace to what a person needs, whether that means short-term problem solving or longer follow-up.
She brings direct experience with grief and hospice-related issues, caregiver burnout, and challenges linked to aging. That background informs how she talks about loss, role changes, and practical supports in everyday life.
Tara practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. She does not accept international clients. To begin, viewers are asked to use the site’s online therapy options and complete the matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches shape online sessions
Tara uses client-centered work to focus on what matters to the individual. That approach means the therapist listens first, then follows the person's priorities to set next steps. It helps with issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and ongoing stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT offers practical exercises and small experiments someone can try between sessions to reduce anxiety or lift mood.
Solution-focused methods aim for clear, short-term goals. This is useful when someone wants concrete changes for a specific problem, such as improving daily routines or managing a caregiver role.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tara will discuss options and collaborate on what fits your goals and preferences. She helps decide whether to focus on brief problem-solving steps or to build longer-term skills over time.

In practice, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, allow shorter check-ins during breaks, or avoid travel time. These practical benefits help people continue therapy while balancing parenting, caregiving, or work commitments.
