About Tara

Tara Borrero is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. She brings three years of clinical experience to her practice and emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and emotions at their own pace.

Background and approach

Tara encourages clients to take the first step toward change and acknowledges the courage it takes to begin therapy. Her work blends evidence-informed methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with mindfulness and acceptance-based tools to address unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical coping skills.

She also draws on client-centered and dialectical behavior approaches to support emotional regulation, improve communication, and strengthen self-compassion. Tara focuses on collaborative goal-setting so that each plan reflects the client’s needs and values.

Approaches that guide online sessions



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, teaching practical skills to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms and improve daily functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking actions that align with those values, which can be helpful for stress and life transitions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients feel heard and can explore their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and is handled collaboratively. The therapist works with clients to clarify goals, assess which methods fit their preferences and needs, and adapt strategies as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and maintain continuity during life changes. These options allow licensed professionals to provide ongoing support and skill-based work without requiring in-person visits, which can help clients stay consistent with therapy over time.
