About Tara
Tara Parisi is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on straightforward, practical therapy. She draws on 24 years of experience to help people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and life transitions. Tara keeps sessions down to earth and centered on each person's real concerns.
Tara uses clear listening and simple tools to help people notice patterns that get in the way. She mixes ideas from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral approaches to identify thoughts and behaviors that increase distress.
Background and approach
Sessions often include small, manageable steps to try between meetings. She also uses narrative and solution-focused ideas to help people tell their story differently and spot what already works. That can be useful for relationship problems, parenting stress, career decisions, and family conflict.
Trauma-focused strategies are used when past hurt keeps showing up in daily life. Tara aims to make therapy feel like a good fit. She invites honest feedback and adjusts her style when something does not work.
She uses warmth, plain talk, and occasional humor to keep conversations grounded. Her work is practical and goal-oriented while staying attuned to each person's experience. People who want to address anger, low self-esteem, panic, obsessive thoughts, or changes in life often find the sessions focused and useful.
Tara practices in New Hampshire and conducts sessions using several online formats.

Therapeutic approaches and online therapy options
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the person's lead. The therapist offers empathy and reflection to help people name their goals and notice strengths. This approach is useful for building trust and working through relationship or parenting concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions often identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, panic, or anger. CBT is goal-oriented and easy to break into steps to try between meetings.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting as progress is made. Clients and the therapist plan next steps together and review what helps most.
Online therapy here includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face from wherever they are, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options add flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels with therapy.
