About Tara
Tara Fischer is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin with six years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, social anxiety and phobia, ADHD, and relationship or family concerns.
Tara draws on client-centered work alongside practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now, identifying small changes that make daily life easier, and building skills to manage overwhelming feelings. She places attention on the person beyond labels and diagnoses.
Her background includes work in multiple settings where she supported people with autism, ADHD, postpartum depression, and experiences of sexual assault and domestic violence. That experience informs a straightforward approach to coping skills, emotional regulation, and improving self-esteem.
Tara uses solution-focused ideas to set clear, achievable goals and checks progress each session. She talks through concrete steps people can try between meetings and adjusts plans based on what helps. The work is practical and aimed at improving day-to-day functioning.
People often bring questions about parenting stress, blended family issues, loneliness, or the strain of life changes. Tara offers a steady, practical way to look at those concerns and to develop tools for calmer responses and clearer choices.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person's own ideas about change. In practice this means sessions start by asking what matters most and following the client's lead to explore options and next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behaviors with clear exercises. CBT work often includes short homework tasks, practice of new skills, and tracking how changes affect mood and reactions over time. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT-related tools can include emotion regulation techniques, distress tolerance strategies, and communication skills to use between sessions. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. Tara will collaborate with clients to choose approaches that match their goals, preferences, and the difficulties they bring to sessions. She adjusts plans as progress is reviewed so the work stays practical and focused. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm exact online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins, or reduce travel time. Discussing scheduling needs in the first meeting helps shape how therapy fits into everyday life.Areas of expertise
