About Tara

Tara Fischer is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and related issues. Sessions are presented in straightforward language and aim to address daily problems people bring in.

Tara uses a client-centered way of working that starts with listening and understanding what matters to the person. From there she draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and DBT strategies to manage strong emotions. Solution-focused methods are used to set short-term goals and notice small changes.

Her experience includes supporting people who have ADHD, autism, past trauma, and those dealing with family and adoption-related concerns. She pays attention to how emotions show up in relationships and daily routines, and helps people build skills for handling frustration and resentment.

In sessions she encourages practical steps you can try between meetings, like experimenting with new ways to respond when anger rises. She also helps people look at patterns that keep problems repeating and at small actions that reduce stress at home and work.

Tara emphasizes treating each person as more than a label. Conversations focus on what you notice, what you want to change, and what you already do that helps. The work is collaborative and paced to fit everyday life.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered work means starting with your priorities and listening to what you bring. That approach helps shape which skills and techniques are used next, and makes sessions practical and relevant to everyday problems.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts that fuel anger and testing new ways of thinking and acting. It is useful for workplace frustration, relationship tension, and anxiety that feeds into short tempers. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when strong feelings come up. Those skills can reduce reactivity and help rebuild trust in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which combination of client-centered listening, CBT tasks, DBT skills, or solution-focused steps fits best. Goals and pacing are set together based on needs and preferences.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or let someone avoid travel time. Licensed professionals often use these conveniences to help therapy fit into everyday life without changing the focus of the work.
