About Tara
Tara Prom is a licensed independent clinical social worker who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem struggles. She speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what is most pressing. Parents and caregivers often seek her out for help with parenting, grief, anger, and the strain of major life changes.
In sessions she focuses on practical, doable steps. Conversations are tailored to each person's needs.
Background and approach
She helps clients set small goals, practice new ways of thinking, and try different coping strategies between meetings. Tara uses approaches grounded in collaboration and real skills. She draws from client-centered work to keep the client's priorities central.
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Her practice includes attention to trauma and how past events affect day-to-day life. When trauma is part of the picture, she integrates focused methods meant to reduce symptoms and improve safety and stability.
With 11 years of professional experience as a LICSW - licensed independent clinical social worker - she brings steady clinical judgement and a calm presence. Tara works with people across a range of concerns including ADHD, bipolar mood patterns, relationship problems, and caregiver stress.
She offers a straightforward, respectful approach for parents and family members seeking support in Minnesota and beyond via online formats.
How Tara’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy places the client's goals at the heart of each session. It means the therapist listens carefully and shapes the work around what the client says matters most, which helps when families need practical, personalized support.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting patterns of unhelpful thinking and testing small behavioral changes. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress because it gives clear tools people can use between sessions.
Tara treats the choice of approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their needs and preferences, then try methods that fit those goals. If something is not working, she adjusts the plan together with the client.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules, allow follow-up work without extra travel, and let people use the communication style that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals can guide skill practice, problem solving, and trauma-informed support through these flexible channels.
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.
Solution-Focused Therapy
Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
