About Tara
Tara Prom is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota with 11 years of experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, motivation challenges, and related struggles. She speaks English and works from Minnesota.
Her approach is practical and conversational. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. She also draws on Client-Centered and Solution-Focused methods to build on strengths and set concrete steps forward.
In sessions she aims to listen, reflect what someone is describing, and then suggest small experiments to test how different responses feel. That can mean tracking thoughts between sessions, trying new behavior patterns, or identifying one or two achievable goals for the week. Progress is checked in with simple measures rather than long theoretical discussion.
Tara has particular experience with grief, parenting strains, anger, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and caregiver stress. She also supports people working through attachment questions, body image, codependency, substance use concerns, and divorce or blended family issues. Her background includes trauma-focused work with people who have experienced abuse.
Sessions are practical, focused, and intended to reduce day-to-day interference from symptoms and problems. She helps people break big issues into smaller steps and track whether new habits make a difference. To begin, clients use the site matching process to schedule a first session.
How her approaches fit with online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says. It helps people clarify their priorities and feel understood before deciding next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses concrete exercises to change patterns that cause distress. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable goals and short-term strategies to move forward.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and collaborate on which methods make sense. That may mean combining CBT exercises with client-centered conversation and brief solution-focused planning to keep sessions practical and focused on change.
The original biography did not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten the length of a check-in when needed, or remove the need to travel. Therapists often find video helps with interactive CBT exercises, while phone sessions can be simpler for brief check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can discuss the best way to structure sessions to match a person’s schedule and goals.
