About Tara
Tara Fulton-Butzlaff is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people handle stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and relationship concerns. She supports those facing life changes, grief, workplace strain, and issues with self-esteem. She also assists people dealing with addictions, trauma and abuse, and identity-related challenges.
Tara draws on 16 years of practice to offer steady, practical support. She prefers plain, direct conversation where people can say what they really feel.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on building coping skills, noticing patterns, and setting small goals that fit daily life. She aims to make sessions feel calm and unhurried. She listens for what matters most and then helps people find concrete steps forward.
That might mean practicing ways to calm down in the moment or trying new ways to talk about a sensitive topic. Tara works with people who are struggling with commitment issues, family of origin concerns, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and infidelity or jealousy. She also supports those facing money worries, workplace problems, seasonal affective disorder, and challenges common to young adults.
Her license is MS LCSW, and she provides services from Mississippi. She offers straightforward guidance and encourages small, steady changes rather than quick fixes.

How therapeutic methods meet online care
Many people benefit from focused skill-building work that targets stress, anger, and anxiety. One common approach teaches practical coping techniques for moments of overwhelm, such as breath work, grounding, and short behavioral strategies to reduce reactivity. These tools help when strong emotions feel hard to manage.Another useful direction looks at patterns in relationships and emotions. This approach helps people spot repeating thoughts or actions that lead to conflict, and then practice new ways of responding. It is often helpful for issues like commitment, jealousy, forgiveness, and intimacy-related concerns.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist and client will work together to decide what fits the person’s goals and daily life. That collaborative plan may shift as new concerns or progress appear.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good option for a quieter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send short updates, ask quick questions, or keep momentum between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility so therapy can happen in ways that suit schedules and comfort levels.
