About Tara

Tara Wojtkunski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and issues related to sexual and gender identity. She also supports those dealing with bipolar disorder, stress from life changes, trauma, and concerns about self-esteem. Tara speaks English and draws on 12 years of work in counseling settings to guide conversations and planning.

Her approach is conversational and straightforward. She aims to make sessions feel like a calm place to talk through what’s worrying someone now. Tara emphasizes listening first, then helping people notice patterns in thoughts and behavior that get in the way of daily life.

Tara uses practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking. She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy ideas to help people focus on values and small steps toward them. Dialectical behavior therapy tools and client-centered care are part of how she teaches emotion regulation and coping skills.

In sessions she supports people working through identity questions, workplace stress, grief from change, and trauma responses. She also addresses topics such as guilt, shame, and building self-compassion. Tara adapts tools to each person’s needs so the work feels relevant and doable.

Starting therapy with her involves a simple sign-up and matching process. Tara encourages people to take a small first step and then set goals together during early sessions. Her style is steady, respectful, and focused on helping people find clearer ways forward.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take small actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process may include trying different techniques and adjusting based on what feels most helpful in sessions.

Practical benefits of working online can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy day. Online work can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins or to meet when travel or work would make in-person visits difficult. The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking to know what types of online sessions are offered.
