Tara Levine, LCSW

Tara Levine is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people carrying heavy, hidden burdens. She meets people who keep it together on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or trapped in repeating patterns. Her manner is supportive and direct, aimed at helping clients make changes that last.

She focuses on worries such as anxiety, depression, bipolar mood swings, and stress. She also works with addiction, trauma and abuse, anger, intimacy-related struggles, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include communication problems, drug and alcohol addiction, and post-traumatic stress.

Tara explains what is actually happening in a situation and why certain reactions repeat. She uses straightforward language so clients can try new behaviors between sessions. The goal is practical change rather than abstract insight alone.

Her background includes nine years of clinical experience across multiple levels of care, including higher-acuity settings. That experience informs how she approaches more complex situations alongside everyday challenges.

Sessions are intended to feel real and useful, not overly clinical. Tara aims to create a space where people can figure things out and begin to notice different results in daily life.

How ACT, CBT, and DBT translate to online work

Tara uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try practical changes. ACT helps people clarify personal values and take small actions toward them even when thoughts or feelings are uncomfortable. CBT focuses on changing thought and behavior patterns that maintain anxiety, depression, or relationship problems.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving communication. DBT skills can help with emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and more effective interactions with others.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tara will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan over time so therapy stays practical and relevant.

The practical benefits of remote work can include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Because the specific session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm available options before booking. The focus is on making therapy fit daily life and on teaching skills and behaviors that people can use between sessions.
