Tara Wright-Mitchell, LMHC

Tara Wright-Mitchell is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and the challenges of life changes. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, blended family dynamics, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment worries, communication problems, control issues, and forgiveness.

In sessions she listens and encourages people to talk through what feels most pressing. She focuses on practical steps and skills that can be used between meetings. Conversations are straightforward and centered on what the client wants to change or understand.

Tara uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness-based ideas are used to help people notice present-moment experience without getting overwhelmed. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clarify values and small actions that move toward them.

Over two decades she has worked with adults facing relational pain and life transitions. Her practical style aims to make sessions useful from the first meetings. People leave with specific strategies to try and a clear plan for next steps.

To begin, she asks people to name the problems they want to focus on. From there she and the client choose approaches and set simple goals. The work is paced to fit each person’s life and commitments.
