About Tara
Tara Prom is a Minnesota LICSW with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, family difficulty, trauma and abuse, and issues with self-esteem and motivation. She also supports people managing depression, grief, anger, ADHD, and the strains of parenting and life change.
Tara uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each person. She listens for practical patterns and helps set small, clear goals. Sessions focus on concrete skills and steps people can try between meetings. Clients can expect direct feedback and gentle reality checks rather than abstract talk.
Her background includes helping people through family conflict and the fallout of trauma. She draws on approaches that look at thoughts, behaviors, and current solutions to reduce distress and increase daily functioning. That work includes addressing attachment concerns, codependency, and caregiver stress.
Tara also helps people manage impulsivity, guilt and shame, and problems that come with blended family dynamics or divorce and separation. She supports those dealing with substance use issues and disruptive mood patterns by outlining practical strategies and coping options.
Her style is steady and pragmatic. She and the person in therapy work together to set priorities and track progress. For adults trying to untangle problems at home, she focuses on useful tools and clear next steps rather than long explanations.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and working from the person’s perspective. It focuses on the client’s concerns and builds on their strengths to set useful goals. This approach helps when someone needs validation and a space to clarify priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It includes practical exercises and behavior changes to reduce anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for stress, worry, and mood concerns.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on what’s already working and on small, achievable changes. It helps people create short-term plans and track quick wins when managing family tension or parenting challenges.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean trying CBT tools for a time, then shifting toward solution-focused steps if those feel more useful.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking because the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions help them keep momentum between appointments while balancing family and work demands.
