About Tara

Tara Fischer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin. She helps people who feel stuck by listening, asking clear questions, and guiding practical steps. Many come for stress, anxiety, low mood, or the isolation that follows big life changes.

Tara uses a client-centered way of working that focuses on each person's strengths and goals. She blends ideas from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build everyday coping skills. Solution-focused methods help set short-term goals and track progress.

She has six years of experience across a range of settings. That background includes work with people who have anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, and trauma histories. Tara pays attention to the whole person rather than only labels or diagnoses.

In sessions she talks through patterns, teaches practical tools, and helps people try different approaches between meetings. The pace is set by the person seeking help, and goals are reviewed as work progresses.

People who reach out can expect straightforward conversation, measurable steps, and a focus on improving day-to-day functioning. Tara aims to help people reduce overwhelm, strengthen relationships, and find more ease in their routines.

How these approaches translate to online work

Tara uses client-centered work that focuses on the person's goals and strengths. This means conversations start where the person is and build from their priorities, which can be helpful when feeling isolated or overwhelmed.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in her practice looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions often include simple exercises and small experiments to try between meetings to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Skills practice and step-by-step problem solving are common parts of sessions for people who struggle with strong emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences and will adapt plans as progress is reviewed.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how she is delivering care. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can spend more time on self-care and appointments.
