About Tara
Tara Walker is a licensed independent social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, and depression.

Sessions are relaxed and tailored to each person. She encourages honest conversation about thoughts and feelings without judgment. Her approach blends active skill-building with attention to emotion.
Background and approach
She draws on methods that help people notice what matters to them, change unhelpful thinking patterns, and strengthen emotional connection. That mix aims to make progress feel useful in daily life. Tara has seven years of professional experience and holds an Ohio LISW - Licensed Independent Social Worker.
Her background includes support for grief, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, mood disorders, ADHD, and compassion fatigue among other issues. People come to her for help with communication problems, codependency, control issues, impulsivity, and feelings of isolation. She also supports work on forgiveness, guilt and shame, and clarifying life purpose.
Tara invites clients to name concrete goals and practice new ways of responding between sessions. She emphasizes ongoing collaboration so the plan stays aligned with what actually helps in day-to-day life.

How therapeutic approaches fit with online sessions
Tara uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as core tools. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors connect, teaching practical steps to change thinking patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. ACT focuses on values and meaningful action, helping people accept difficult feelings while pursuing what matters to them.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Tara will work with clients to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan so the work stays relevant and useful for each person.
Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone is a lower-bandwidth option for focused talk, live chat is useful for quicker check-ins, and text messaging supports brief updates or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy days and to try different formats until one feels right.
