About Tara

Tara Prom is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Minnesota who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, grief, and trauma. She focuses on practical support for everyday problems and on building confidence and coping skills. Her approach is respectful and direct, with attention to each person’s unique needs.

With 11 years of clinical experience, Tara adapts sessions to the concerns people bring. She often works on relationship issues, anger, compassion fatigue, and life changes such as separation or caregiving transitions. She also addresses challenges related to ADHD, bipolar disorder, and substance concerns when these arise alongside other struggles.

Tara draws on client-centered work to listen and follow the person’s lead. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try small experiments. Solution-focused techniques support setting short-term goals and finding practical next steps.

In sessions she aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through painful experiences, including trauma and abuse. She tailors conversations and plans so they fit each person’s situation and strengths. Her style emphasizes clear goals, steady progress, and compassion.

People who choose Tara can expect straightforward tools for coping, a focus on what matters most right now, and a plan that evolves as needs change.

How her approaches guide online care

Tara uses client-centered therapy to follow what matters most to each person. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and shaping sessions around the client’s goals, which helps when addressing stress, relationships, or parenting struggles.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, a hands-on method that helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood challenges and is helpful for building concrete coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tara will talk with the client about goals, daily routines, and what feels most useful. She treats the choice of methods as collaborative and adjusts plans as progress and priorities shift.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session formats before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats are better for people who prefer video interaction, while others can work well when bandwidth or schedules make a phone session more practical. Discussing these options during the initial scheduling helps match the session type to everyday life and goals.
