About Tara
Tara Wojtkunski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 12 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship stress, bipolar disorder, and family concerns, and she lists LGBT-related issues among her focus areas. Sessions are practical and direct, aimed at making everyday life feel more manageable.
She uses a mix of approaches to match what a person needs in the moment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people focus on values and action rather than getting stuck on difficult thoughts. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are offered when strong emotions need steadying.
Tara favors an open, nonjudgmental tone in sessions. She encourages clear goals and small, doable steps between meetings. Conversations focus on what is causing distress at home or work and on concrete ways to reduce that strain.
Her additional focus areas include trauma and abuse, self-esteem, gender dysphoria, post-traumatic stress, and workplace issues. She also notes experience related to HIV/AIDS, intellectual disability, and visual impairment concerns. Those topics are handled with practical strategies and problem-solving.
People who choose her can expect collaborative planning about what to work on first. The emphasis is on usable skills - managing stress, improving communication, and coping with life changes. The aim is clearer thinking and steadier days rather than abstract theory.
Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Georgia. Cost varies with location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the See online therapy options button.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts without getting ruled by them, and then take small steps that reflect what matters to them. This can help when everyday responsibilities or family roles feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, offering concrete exercises to practice between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for managing intense emotions and improving day-to-day coping, especially when stress spikes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to pick methods that match current needs, goals, and preferences. Together they check what works and adjust the plan over time, so the approach can shift as life changes.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work, and medical appointments. They also allow for shorter check-ins when a full session isn't needed and can reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help therapy fit into everyday routines without asking for major schedule changes.
