About Tara

Tara Sedov is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Washington. She focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and ADHD. Tara uses a collaborative, person-centered style to help people build practical coping skills.

She often helps clients who face midlife shifts, relationship communication problems, or the daily strain of caregiving. Tara explains options clearly and works together with each person to set doable goals.

Background and approach

She draws on a mix of evidence-based techniques tailored to what someone needs in the moment. Sessions aim to be straightforward, skill-focused, and paced to match each person's comfort. With eight years of experience, she brings both clinical training and practical coaching tools to sessions.

Tara also holds training in lifespan integration and breathwork, which she integrates when they fit a client's goals. She pays attention to how cultural background and immigration stress can affect well-being. People who work with Tara can expect help sorting priorities, managing overwhelming feelings, and creating plans to handle everyday problems.

She supports exploration of identity and relationship patterns without judgment. Her style balances clear guidance with respect for each person's strengths. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients.

Tara aims to make therapy accessible through flexible online formats and wants clients to leave with tools they can use outside of sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Tara uses evidence-based techniques focused on practical change. Lifespan integration is one approach she draws on; it helps people process memories and build continuity across life stages to reduce distress. Breathwork and mindfulness-based breathing practices are another tool she offers to ease anxiety and help with emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tara will talk through options, try techniques together, and adjust methods based on what works for the client's goals and preferences. The plan evolves with the client's needs rather than being fixed at the start.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, manage ongoing check-ins, and use brief support between meetings. Remote sessions let people access licensed professionals from wherever they are, while keeping the focus on concrete skills and steady progress.
