About Tara
Tara Sedov is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and ADHD-related concerns. She works with individuals who are facing life transitions and seeking clearer coping strategies. Her tone is collaborative and straightforward, aimed at practical support for everyday struggles.
Tara uses a person-centered, strengths-based approach that centers the client's goals. She treats therapy as a partnership and focuses on building skills people can use outside sessions.
Background and approach
Conversations are practical and geared toward measurable changes in routine, thinking, and behavior. She blends evidence-based therapeutic techniques with life coaching tools and breath-work to address both emotions and daily functioning. That mix can help with mood shifts, impulsivity, and the overwhelm that often comes with caregiving or chronic health issues.
Sessions often focus on small, achievable steps rather than big abstract plans. Tara has eight years of clinical experience and holds LICSW credentials in Washington and Massachusetts. She also supervises other clinicians in those states.
Her background includes work with multicultural communities and people navigating immigration and identity questions. She supports people thinking about major life changes, including relocating abroad, and helps them weigh options and plan transitions. Tara offers sessions that aim to strengthen communication, reduce isolation, and rebuild confidence during stressful periods.

Therapeutic techniques and online care that fit your life
Therapy sessions may use a mix of evidence-based techniques and practical coaching. One common approach focuses on person-centered work where the therapist follows the client's goals and strengths, helping people identify small, doable changes to reduce stress and improve parenting routines. Another approach combines breath-based practices and coaching tools to help regulate strong emotions, manage overwhelm, and build steadier daily habits.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will ask about your situation, goals, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you will try strategies and adjust the plan based on what feels useful and manageable for you.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching between sessions, or when typing helps you express thoughts more clearly. These options make it easier to fit ongoing support into a busy parenting life or a changing schedule.
