About Tara
Tara Wright-Mitchell is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with 20 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and big life changes. Tara uses straightforward conversation and practical tools to help people move forward when life feels uncertain.
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Tara also uses Client-Centered Therapy and Mindfulness approaches to help people notice their values and build small, manageable steps toward them. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills that can be used between meetings.
Tara often works with issues tied to attachment and abandonment, codependency, communication problems, blended family challenges, and the practical strains of caregiving. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, body image, commitment worries, divorce and separation, and fatherhood issues. Her approach mixes talk with exercises that practice new responses to old problems.
Conversations are direct and grounded. Clients can expect to talk through what is happening now, identify patterns that are getting in the way, and try out different ways of coping. Tara prioritizes helping people find what matters to them and take small steps toward those things.
Her practice is based in Florida and she offers services in English. The first session typically reviews current challenges and sets simple, realistic goals for the next steps.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking committed steps toward those values. It helps when someone feels stuck after a job change, breakup, health shift, or other life event by shifting attention from fighting thoughts to taking actions that matter.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems with motivation or self-esteem.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tara will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will help choose which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
