About Tara
Tara Parisi is a licensed counselor who uses practical, person-focused methods to help families and parents. She brings 24 years of experience and a calm, down-to-earth style to sessions. Tara holds an MA and practices as an LMHC and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC.
She speaks English and sees clients in New Hampshire. Tara works with common family pressures like parenting struggles, communication problems, and relationship conflicts. She also helps with anxiety, stress, mood concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, and life transitions such as divorce or career change.
Background and approach
Her practice includes support for ADHD, panic, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and caregiver stress. Her approach starts with listening. She aims to understand what feels hard for each person or family.
From there she uses tools drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, narrative approaches, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused practices. The focus is on practical steps that fit daily life. Tara keeps things straightforward and respectful in sessions.
She uses clear communication, gentle humor, and direct feedback. If her style does not feel like the right fit, she encourages clients to say so and will help them find other resources. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions that work for them.
Therapy can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging under a cancelable subscription.
Approaches and online options for family-focused care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. It emphasizes empathy and respect, helping people feel heard and make choices that fit their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to manage anxiety, mood, and stress. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their families, opening space for new possibilities.Finding the right approach usually happens together. Tara will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities, then suggest methods that suit the situation. That collaborative process lets clients try practical strategies and adjust them as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy family schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to schedule regular check-ins, use brief coaching between sessions, and keep progress moving when life gets hectic. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to support parenting challenges, relationship work, anxiety, trauma recovery, and coping with life transitions in ways that fit each family’s needs.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Narrative Therapy
Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
