About Tara
Tara Wojtkunski is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with 12 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, and challenges related to LGBT identity and bipolar disorder. She also supports people dealing with trauma, self-esteem concerns, and major life changes.
Her approach is practical and focused on clear steps. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered techniques to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Sessions involve talking through current problems, identifying patterns, and practicing new skills between meetings.
Tara pays attention to how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. She uses dialectical behavior strategies when emotion regulation is a concern and brings existential ideas when people want to make sense of life transitions. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with concrete tools to test in daily life.
She has experience supporting people with identity-related concerns including gender dysphoria and issues tied to HIV/AIDS. Additional work has included coping with guilt and shame, self-harm histories, personality challenges, and workplace stress.
People meet her to sort through relationships, career choices, parenting pressures, or to manage mood disorders. The first session focuses on what the person hopes to change and what small steps feel realistic. Subsequent sessions build on those steps and track what helps.
How therapeutic approaches are used online
CBT - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavioral changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems that respond to step-by-step skill building.ACT - Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take actions that matter to them, even when difficult feelings are present. It can help with life changes, chronic stress, and motivation.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding the person's perspective. This approach is often used alongside skills-based methods to keep sessions grounded in what the person cares about.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Tara will review your needs, goals, and preferences and collaborate on which methods to try. This creates a plan that is practical and adjustable as progress is tracked.
