About Tara

Tara Wright-Mitchell is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Tara also lists additional focus areas such as abandonment, attachment issues, blended family concerns, body image, caregiver stress, and codependency.

Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She listens to what is happening now and helps people name patterns that leave them drained or stuck. Sessions tend to include practical steps people can try between meetings, plus space to talk through what comes up when change feels hard.

Tara uses methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness practices. That means work in sessions can blend learning new skills, noticing difficult thoughts and feelings, and clarifying personal values to guide choices.

She aims to reduce overwhelm by breaking problems into manageable pieces. Conversations cover communication, boundaries, control and dependency patterns, and handling grief or separation. Tara helps clients explore small, realistic steps toward clearer decisions and steadier moods.

People who contact her can expect direct conversation about goals and progress. The focus is on finding what fits a person's life and commitments, then testing ways to feel more in control without giving up important relationships.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters and take small actions toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that keep stress and anxiety active. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment noticing and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tara will work collaboratively to see which methods match a person's goals, needs, and comfort. Together they review what helps most and adjust the plan as work progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals often use a mix of skill practice, brief homework, and in-session exercises that translate well to remote appointments, helping people test new ways of setting boundaries and managing emotions in everyday life.
