About Tara
Tara Fischer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, eating issues, parenting matters, anger, coping with life changes, ADHD, and young adult issues.
Tara uses a client-centered approach and draws on solution-focused techniques, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) ideas, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) concepts. Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward. She values hearing the whole picture beyond labels and diagnoses.
Her prior roles have included work in a range of settings, which taught her how problems show up differently for each person. She has experience supporting people who have autism, ADHD, past trauma, and mood concerns. The emphasis is on building skills that help with daily challenges and emotional regulation.
Tara invites people to talk through what feels most urgent to them and to try concrete strategies that can be used outside sessions. She encourages clients to use their own insight as part of the process. Progress is approached in small, measurable steps.
If you are in your late teens or twenties dealing with leaving home, school or early work stress, shifting relationships, or feeling behind peers, she lists young adult issues among her focuses. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before scheduling.
Approaches you might use in online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding the person’s perspective, then building on their own strengths and insight. It helps when someone wants to feel heard and figure out what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that are useful when feelings feel overwhelming.
Choosing the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try strategies in session, and adjust methods based on what works and what doesn’t. The focus is on identifying helpful tools together rather than imposing a single method.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around school or work, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people pick quieter times for meetings. Talk with the therapist during the first session about pacing, skills practice, and how to use the work between appointments.
