About Tara

Dr. Tara Harvey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee with two decades of clinical experience. She integrates a range of evidence-informed approaches to help people navigate complex emotional and behavioral concerns, drawing on methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, client-centered techniques, emotionally focused work, and psychodynamic ideas to tailor care to each person's needs.

Harvey approaches therapy with a focus on balancing mind, body, and spirit, helping individuals manage difficulties rooted in the past or emerging in the present. She emphasizes collaboration, meeting people where they are and adapting therapeutic tools to address the specific problems that brought them to therapy. Her style blends practical skill-building with deeper exploration of patterns and relationships to support sustainable change.

Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and caregiver stress, self-esteem and career challenges, ADHD and bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Additional areas of attention include attachment and abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, chronic illness and disability, codependency, body image, and communication and commitment challenges.

Dr. Tara Harvey brings measured expertise and a respectful, person-centered stance to the therapeutic process, working with each individual to identify goals and strategies that fit their life and values.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance that prioritizes the person's own goals and pace. In this approach the therapist offers empathy and support while helping clients clarify values and make choices that align with their priorities, which can help with issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and skill-building to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress, and to improve coping with cravings or mood swings.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and increasing distress tolerance. It is often helpful for people facing difficulties with emotion regulation, impulsive behaviors, or relational conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Harvey works collaboratively with clients and other licensed professionals to identify methods that fit each person’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care across life changes. For many people, remote work with a therapist supports consistent practice of skills between sessions and easier access to professional support when it is needed.
