About Tara

LCSW in Florida with 9 years of experience, Tara Levine helps people dealing with anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She works with individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or who find patterns keep repeating despite their efforts. Tara describes her approach as direct and practical; she focuses on what’s actually happening and what to change so progress holds up in daily life.

Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. Tara uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to build skills for managing emotions, reducing unhelpful thinking, and changing behavior. She explains what keeps problems going and teaches small, usable steps to try between sessions.

Her background includes nine years across multiple levels of care, including higher-acuity settings. That experience informs her work with both everyday challenges and more complex concerns such as trauma, mood-related issues, and substance use. She brings clinical experience that fits situations where symptoms are causing real disruption in functioning.

In practical terms, Tara tends to be supportive but direct. Conversations are clear and focused on understanding patterns, identifying what to do differently, and testing changes that can work in ordinary life. People should expect straightforward feedback and concrete strategies rather than long theoretical discussions.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and Tara accepts international clients. Confirm current session options before booking to make sure the format fits your needs.

How ACT, CBT, and DBT shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It’s useful for anxiety, avoidance, and when worry stops people from living the way they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches strategies to change unhelpful thinking and habits. It works well for anxiety, depression, and mood-related problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal skills, which can help with intense emotions, anger, and relationship stress.

Figuring out which approach fits is part of the work. Tara will collaborate with clients to decide which methods to prioritize based on goals, symptoms, and what feels doable. She uses clear explanation and practical exercises so people can test changes between sessions.

The therapist biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and let sessions fit into a workday or family routine. It can also allow shorter check-ins when bandwidth is limited or video isn’t practical. Licensed professionals use these approaches to help people practice skills and apply them in everyday life without promising a particular format.
