About Tara

Tara Fischer is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Wisconsin who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, family challenges, trauma, and related concerns.

Background and approach

With six years of clinical experience, she emphasizes a holistic view that considers physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual dimensions while honoring each person’s unique story. Tara uses a client-centered stance to create a collaborative space where a person’s own insight guides growth.

Her clinical work draws on a blend of approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and solution-focused strategies to address issues such as depression, self-esteem, relationship difficulties, ADHD, and grief from life changes. She has worked with individuals, children, and families and brings experience with neurodiversity, adoption and foster care situations, and trauma histories.

Tara values seeing clients beyond labels and supports practical skill-building alongside personal exploration aimed at greater wellbeing. Clients can expect an approachable therapist who combines structured tools with empathetic listening to help identify goals and develop coping strategies.

She aims to help people build resilience, improve relationships, and make meaningful changes that fit their lives.

Approaches for change in online therapy

Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and respect for the client’s perspective, allowing sessions to focus on personal strengths and self-directed growth. This approach supports people who want a warm, collaborative environment to explore their goals and values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills to change emotions and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day coping challenges because it pairs discussion with concrete exercises and homework.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tara will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will assess progress and adjust techniques so therapy stays aligned with the client’s priorities.

Online sessions can be delivered through video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between meetings, and access therapy from home while working with licensed professionals who tailor methods to individual circumstances.
