About Tara
Tara Barbaro is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 10 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting, anger, career issues, and coping with life changes.
She uses practical, conversational work to help people notice thoughts and habits that get in the way. Sessions focus on small, concrete steps that can change daily patterns. Tara combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered and solution-focused techniques to keep sessions grounded and action-oriented.
Clients can expect short-term goals and clear strategies for dealing with worry, low mood, or big life shifts. She pays attention to motivation and confidence as part of problem solving. Work may include identifying unhelpful thinking, testing new behaviors, and building quick coping skills.
Tara has experience supporting people facing aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, hospice and end-of-life concerns, veteran and armed forces issues, and women’s issues. She also addresses self-love and practical parenting challenges. Her approach stays focused on what someone needs to do differently between sessions.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist mirrors concerns, asks clarifying questions, and helps clients organize their thinking so they can make choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; it uses short exercises and experiments to test new responses to worry, low mood, or stress. Solution-Focused Therapy targets practical steps and specific goals, concentrating on small changes that show immediate benefit.Finding the right mix of these methods is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that fit those aims, and adjust as work proceeds. This is a collaborative process where the client’s feedback helps shape future sessions.
Practical benefits of online work include easier fitting of sessions into a busy day and fewer logistical barriers to attending. If a client needs a shorter check-in or a session that does not require video, they should confirm available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to practice skills between meetings and to use brief homework exercises during a regular routine.
