Tara Levine, LCSW

Tara Levine is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or like they’re holding everything together on the outside while struggling inside. She often works with folks who play the strong role but find themselves repeating the same patterns, such as anxiety, overthinking, or relationships that don’t shift. Her approach aims to be practical and straightforward so clients can notice changes in daily life.

She uses a supportive but direct style. Tara helps people see what’s actually driving their habits and reactions. Then she works with them to try new ways of responding that fit their real life. Sessions focus on concrete steps rather than abstract talk.

Over nine years she has worked across multiple levels of care, including higher-acuity settings. That experience includes supporting people with trauma, mood concerns like depression and bipolar disorder, and drug and alcohol addiction. The background informs how she steers assessment and treatment planning.

Tara draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to shape sessions. These methods are used to address stress, anger, self-esteem, intimacy struggles, and post-traumatic stress in practical ways.

People who choose her can expect a clear focus on what to do differently between sessions. Therapy is presented as collaborative work, with skills and strategies chosen to match each person’s goals and everyday demands.

Online approaches that focus on real-life change

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to values-driven action. It’s used to reduce avoidance and build a life that matters, which can help with anxiety, depression, and ongoing stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches straightforward techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for mood concerns, anxiety, and addiction.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. That makes it helpful for anger, relationship struggles, and problems with impulse control.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Expectations and techniques are adjusted as progress is reviewed.
