About Tara
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with five years of clinical experience. Tara Tormey works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, family conflict, trauma, and abuse. She uses creative approaches including art therapy alongside evidence-based techniques.
Tara frames therapy as a practical, collaborative process. She listens to each person's goals and helps choose methods that fit those goals. Sessions can include talking, hands-on creative activities, and skill practice aimed at everyday problems.
Her concentration in art therapy gives people another way to express hard emotions when words feel limited. Creative work is used to notice patterns, reduce overwhelm, and unlock new perspectives on relationships and personal history.
Tara integrates standard evidence-based strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety and depression. That work focuses on building small, workable skills clients can use between sessions. She also addresses how relational patterns and family roles affect stress and mood.
Her style is straightforward and goal-oriented. Clients are invited to set priorities and track progress. The emphasis is on practical change rather than abstract theory.
To get started, the site process asks users to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How evidence-based and creative approaches work online
Tara uses a mix of creative techniques and evidence-based methods. Art therapy provides nonverbal ways to process difficult feelings and notice relationship patterns through drawing, collage, or other materials. This can help when talking alone feels limited. Evidence-based strategies focus on practical skills for anxiety and depression, such as breathing and behavior experiments, to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tara collaborates with each person to choose which methods to try first and adjusts those choices based on progress and preference. Clients and therapist set goals together and review what helps most between sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals commonly use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care and to practice skills in real-world settings, but verify the exact formats offered prior to scheduling.
