Tara Sedov

Tara Sedov is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with eight years of experience and holds LICSW credentials in Washington and Massachusetts. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, life changes, and ADHD, and lists life purpose among her focus areas. Sessions are described as a partnership where clients and therapist work together to find practical ways forward.

Tara uses a person-centered, strengths-based way of working. She helps people build coping skills they can use day to day. She draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to match the needs of each person rather than relying on a single method.

Clients who bring concerns about attachment, family of origin, caregiving strain, chronic illness or pain, communication problems, immigration-related stress, or gender issues will find these topics noted in her practice focus. She also supports people coping with guilt, shame, impulsivity, isolation, OCD symptoms, mood concerns, and the particular questions that come up in midlife.

Tara mentions work with the LGBTQ+ community and with people considering major moves abroad, offering help to weigh that kind of life change and to manage the adjustment that follows. She also provides supervision work in both Washington and Massachusetts as part of her LICSW roles.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. The site uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time; fees vary by location.

How her therapeutic methods translate to online work

Tara draws on person-centered and strengths-based approaches that focus on the clients goals and practical coping skills. These approaches emphasize active listening, reflective feedback, and building skills the person can use between sessions, which can work well in a virtual setting.

She also uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address ADHD, anxiety, and stress-related problems. For ADHD this often means breaking tasks into smaller steps, setting realistic routines, and practicing behavioral strategies. For anxiety and stress the focus is on identifying triggers, learning calming skills, and testing out new coping responses in everyday life.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. The therapist and client collaborate to decide which techniques fit best with the clients goals, pace, and preferences. That may mean trying a few strategies and adjusting them based on what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel and can reduce time spent commuting. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions that do not require being on camera, depending on the agreed format between client and therapist.
