About Tara
Tara Fischer offers a calm, practical approach for parents and individuals seeking steady support. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with six years of experience. Tara listens first, then helps people set small, doable goals.
She keeps language simple and focuses on what will help day to day. Tara usually starts by learning what matters most to the person in front of her. She blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.
Background and approach
That means she helps people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and practice skills that reduce stress and strong emotions. Her experience includes working with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, attention differences, and parenting concerns. She also supports people facing family conflict, identity questions, eating concerns, postpartum mood changes, and loneliness.
Tara pays attention to the whole person rather than just labels or diagnoses. Sessions focus on practical steps - short-term goals, skill building, and clearer thinking about problems. She uses a mix of problem-solving and emotional skills so progress can show up between sessions.
Conversations aim to be direct but warm, helping people feel more capable in daily life. Tara sees therapy as a collaborative process. She works with each person to choose strategies that fit their values, schedule, and needs.
Her style suits people who want both understanding and concrete tools to handle stress and change.
How Tara’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy begins with listening and understanding what matters most to each person. It focuses on building rapport, reflecting concerns, and shaping goals that come from the client rather than imposing directions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. It uses practical exercises and short homework tasks to create change between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Tara will discuss goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what feels useful. She works with clients to pick a mix of methods that match their needs and daily life, shifting focus as progress occurs.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make therapy easier to fit into busy schedules. Video lets people work face to face when tone and nonverbal cues matter. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and messaging keep progress moving between appointments and allow concise updates or quick skill practice.
