About Tara

Tara Moran is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on practical, evidence-based work with people facing addiction, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, and ADHD. She brings 12 years of clinical experience and a calm, steady approach to sessions. Tara centers therapy on building skills that help in day-to-day life.

She uses techniques from well-researched therapies alongside creative practices like art and nature-based activities. Sessions emphasize small, achievable steps that add up to real change.

Background and approach

Her background includes long-term work in addiction care and trauma recovery, and she has supported people navigating major life transitions and mood or anxiety concerns. Tara draws on that experience to tailor plans to each person's needs and pace. She often combines structured skill practice with expressive methods to help people process emotion and build resilience.

Clients may work on emotion regulation, coping with urges, managing attention and impulsivity, or rebuilding after loss. Tara says her own experiences with hardship inform a compassionate, down-to-earth style. She aims to meet people where they are, listen without judgment, and help them find practical tools that fit their lives.

Her goal is steady progress toward a life that feels more connected and manageable.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Tara lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Evidence-based techniques and flexible online care

Her practice combines well-established therapeutic techniques with creative supports to help people manage addiction, trauma, and mood or attention difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers clear skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and managing impulsivity, which can help with overwhelming feelings and urges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences, try out methods that fit the person's situation, and adjust plans as progress is made. This helps find techniques that feel practical and manageable for daily life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, coping reminders, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it simpler to get consistent care around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
