About Tara
Tara Prom is a LICSW - Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker practicing in Minnesota with 11 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, anger, bipolar concerns, and ADHD.
Tara focuses on clear, practical conversations. She listens without judgment and helps people sort through what feels overwhelming. Sessions aim to identify patterns, build coping skills, and test ways to make small changes that matter day to day.
Her background is in social work and clinical practice within community and clinical settings. That experience has shaped a straightforward approach to therapy. Clients can expect discussions that are goal-oriented but respectful of each person’s pace.
Tara uses methods from client-centered therapy to keep the focus on the client’s perspective. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to examine thinking and behavior links. Solution-focused tools are used when practical steps and short-term goals are helpful.
People often come to Tara when they feel stuck after big life changes, when anxiety or mood symptoms interfere with work or relationships, or when family stress becomes hard to manage. She supports parents dealing with caregiver strain and individuals coping with impulsivity, isolation, or substance-related problems.
Sessions cover both immediate problem solving and longer-term pattern work. To start, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the fit feels.
How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Client-centered therapy keeps the focus on the client's experience and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what matters most to the client, and adjusts the pace and topics to the individual's needs. This approach helps people who want to explore feelings, values, and personal goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online sessions using CBT typically include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing new behaviors, and practicing skills between meetings. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Tara will work with the client to decide which approach or mix of approaches fits best. Figuring out what helps is treated as a collaborative process. Clients set goals, try practical steps, and then adjust the plan based on what proves useful.
Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available online and in-person options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, or caregiving by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer video for face-to-face interaction, while others find audio sessions allow focus without being on camera. Discussing preferences helps shape session length and structure so therapy fits everyday life.
