About Tara
Dr. Tara Harvey is an LPC with 20 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, anger, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns.
She also supports those coping with career change, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and other life transitions. Dr. Harvey uses straightforward, talk-based work that focuses on emotions and real-life problems.
She draws from Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at feelings and connection, and she uses Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral approaches to build practical skills.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Her experience spans many settings where she both practiced and taught mental health care. That background informs a flexible style that mixes insight with concrete tools.
People can expect clear goals, coping strategies, and space to process painful memories. In sessions she helps identify patterns that get in the way of relationships, work, and self-worth. She also supports managing symptoms like sleep disruption, low energy, or difficulty concentrating.
The focus is on small, useful changes that stack up over time. Dr. Harvey works with adults seeking counseling for life stressors, identity concerns, and emotional healing.
She invites people to try therapy as a way to change how they respond to stress and to build more satisfying daily life.

Online support
How emotion-focused work and practical therapy translate online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name feelings and how those feelings shape relationships and behavior. It is useful for addressing attachment, intimacy-related issues, and strong emotional reactions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and the client's own goals; it creates space for people to set the pace and topics of conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort. That means trying ideas, adjusting techniques, and choosing tools that feel useful rather than one fixed path.
Online sessions offer flexibility so therapy can fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can be handy for brief updates, homework, or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These options let people access licensed professionals from different locations and build consistency without rearranging as much of their day.
