About Tara
Tara Wright-Mitchell is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of professional experience. She supports adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with major life changes. She also addresses feelings tied to abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, forgiveness, and guilt and shame.
Tara uses straightforward conversation to help people name what is happening for them. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking. She listens for patterns that keep someone stuck and works with them to try small changes that can feel manageable.
Her practice draws on several approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness techniques. Those methods are used to improve emotional regulation, change unhelpful thinking, and build coping strategies for daily life.
Tara encourages people to bring real examples from their life into sessions. She helps sort through relationship struggles, decision points, and the guilt or shame that can linger after conflicts. Conversations include thought work, behavioral practice, and attention training drawn from mindfulness.
She aims for clear, direct work rather than labels or judgment. People who are looking to understand why guilt or shame keeps coming back may find it useful to talk through specific moments and try concrete steps to respond differently.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Tara commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed actions even when difficult feelings are present, which can help with guilt, shame, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills for shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behavior.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to identify what methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as new challenges or improvements appear.
Confirm current session formats before booking since the original biography did not list specific online options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or offering sessions when leaving work for an appointment is difficult. Talk with the therapist about scheduling and the practical details so sessions can be arranged to match everyday routines.
