About Tara
LMHC and LPC with 12 years of clinical experience, practicing in Florida. Tara Hummel works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, LGBT issues, relationship and family tensions, anger, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Tara uses straightforward, talk-based approaches so clients can name what feels wrong and try different ways to respond. She blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to address thinking and behavior. She also uses trauma-focused methods and psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns that affect current life.
Her background includes years supporting people with substance use struggles and a long history helping children and adolescents with autism and related behavior challenges, as well as their guardians. She has experience working through co-parenting and divorce-related strain, and she volunteered in grief camp programs for young people processing loss.
Sessions focus on practical steps the person can try between meetings, clearer ways to handle conflict, and skills for managing stress or cravings. The clinician will listen to what matters most and offer methods that match the situation.
If you want to begin, you'll complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. The site uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and session cost varies by location.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered work focuses on the person’s concerns and priorities. In practice this means the therapist asks about what matters most, reflects what she hears, and helps the client set concrete goals. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive, goal-focused conversation.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches specific skills to change them. Sessions typically include identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing new coping strategies for anxiety, depression, or cravings.
EMDR is a trauma-focused method that involves guided eye movements or similar bilateral stimulation while the person recalls difficult memories. It is used to reduce the emotional intensity of past events and is often paired with other trauma work.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That decision is collaborative and may change over time as needs evolve.
The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a day, shorten travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people meet without being on camera if they prefer. Licensed professionals adapt their methods to work over distance while focusing on practical skills and understanding of past patterns.
