Tara Wojtkunski, LPC

Tara Wojtkunski is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing relationship strain, LGBT-related concerns, mood disorders like bipolar, anxiety, and depression. She also supports those coping with life changes, stress, self-esteem struggles, workplace issues, and trauma-related concerns. Her direct, calm style aims to make first steps feel less overwhelming for people who are worried or unsure.

Tara creates a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what matters most to them. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear goals and try practical strategies that fit daily life. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on building skills for managing strong emotions and difficult decisions.

With 12 years of experience as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - in Georgia, Tara draws on several therapeutic approaches to shape her work. She blends practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy with acceptance-based skills and mindfulness to help people change unhelpful patterns. She also uses elements of client-centered and dialectical approaches when they fit a client's needs.

Tara has experience supporting people through grief, career stress, gender dysphoria, issues related to HIV/AIDS, personality and intellectual disability concerns, and coping after trauma. She pays attention to how guilt, shame, and self-worth affect choices and relationships.

Tara offers clear guidance about next steps and encourages people to take small actions between sessions. If you’re ready to begin, she invites you to complete the site’s brief matching questionnaire and schedule a time that works for you.

Approaches used in online therapy and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for mood and stress-related problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills, and can be helpful when strong emotions and relationship conflict are part of the picture.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tara will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. She listens to what is most important and adapts tools from ACT, CBT, or DBT so they are practical and relevant for the individual.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as current formats are listed on the scheduling page. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-in visits when needed, and let people join from wherever they are located in their state. Licensed professionals can use the same therapeutic skills online as in person, and Tara focuses on making each session useful and applicable between visits.
