Tara Parisi, LMHC, LCPC

Tara Parisi is a licensed clinician who draws on person-centered care to help people facing anxiety, relationship strain, parenting stress, and other life challenges. She holds a Master of Arts and practices as an LMHC and an LCPC from New Hampshire. Tara speaks directly and calmly, aiming to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable for worried parents and busy adults.

Tara has 24 years of experience working with adults, teens, families, and couples. She helps people manage depression, panic attacks, trauma, and major life transitions. Parenting support, career concerns, and family-of-origin issues are common topics she addresses in session.

Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and elements of Narrative and Solution-Focused work. She adapts techniques to each person’s needs and focuses on practical skills people can use between sessions. Tara emphasizes listening, gentle humor, and straightforward feedback during conversations.

People who are unsure about therapy often find her comparison helpful: therapy needs to fit like a good pair of shoes. If her style does not feel right, she encourages honest communication and will help people identify other options that might suit them better.

Tara aims to help clients recognize their existing strengths and use those abilities to reach goals. She invites potential clients to think about what they want to change and to take a small first step toward meeting those goals.

Approaches that guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building on a person’s strengths to help with relationship stress, parenting challenges, anxiety, and feelings of shame or emptiness. It focuses on making the person feel heard and supported while they decide what changes matter most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It offers clear techniques people can practice between sessions to reduce panic attacks, manage anxiety, and handle anger or obsessive thoughts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences, and adjust the plan over time based on how a client responds. This is a collaborative process with room for feedback and changes.

Confirm the available session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can also assign practical exercises to use between meetings so progress continues outside scheduled sessions.
