About Tara
Tara Wojtkunski is a licensed professional counselor in Georgia who helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and issues tied to LGBT identities.

Her style is open and nonjudgmental. She aims to build a space where people can say what they think and feel without pressure.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps, honest conversation, and skills people can use between meetings. Tara draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and build values-driven action. She also uses Client-Centered and Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies to increase emotional awareness and coping skills.
These methods are adapted to each person’s needs. With 12 years of experience, Tara has worked across a range of concerns including self-esteem, workplace stress, and post-traumatic stress. She mentions additional focus areas such as gender dysphoria, guilt and shame, HIV/AIDS, intellectual disability, and issues affecting visually impaired people and women.
She offers sessions in English and provides several formats to fit different schedules. The process begins with a short questionnaire to match people to the right provider and then scheduling that fits the person’s availability.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes by focusing on small, value-driven steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to shift them. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching tools for immediate use. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and experience, offering a respectful, listening-focused environment that supports confidence and insight.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative process helps tailor techniques from ACT, CBT, or Client-Centered work to match individual needs.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation without travel, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, skill coaching between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit into busy schedules and different day-to-day situations.
