About Tara

Tara Levine greets people who feel like they are keeping it together on the outside while carrying a lot inside. She meets those who are overwhelmed, stuck, or repeating the same patterns, such as persistent worry or relationships that never change. Tara offers a straightforward, supportive presence to help make sense of what’s happening day to day.

She uses clear, practical steps so change can actually stick. Sessions focus on understanding why certain patterns happen and practicing different choices that fit real life.

Background and approach

Tara aims for therapy that feels honest and useful rather than overly clinical. Tara is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, often shortened to LCSW, and she brings nine years of experience across different levels of care. That background includes work with trauma, mood difficulties, and substance use in higher-acuity settings as well as more typical challenges.

Her approach blends strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people manage symptoms and build new habits. She explains tools in plain language and helps clients practice them between sessions. People who want a therapist who is direct, practical, and attentive may find her style helpful.

Tara helps clients break unhelpful cycles and build coping skills for stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. She works with clients in Florida and accepts international clients for online care.

Practical therapy approaches for online care

Tara uses a mix of approaches to help people manage symptoms and change unhelpful patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking steps that align with personal values. It can help when worry or avoidance limit daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches specific skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and to build new behaviors that reduce anxiety and depression.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, which emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. DBT tools can be useful for strong emotions, relationship conflicts, and impulse-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tara will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that match their goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as needed based on what helps most.

Online sessions offer several practical benefits. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation when seeing nonverbal cues matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, quick questions between sessions, and flexible communication that fits a busy schedule. These options make it easier to maintain regular care from Florida or from other locations.
