Tara Danks , LPC

Tara Danks is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with five years of experience. She focuses on practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, life transitions, and concentration concerns. Tara aims to meet clients where they are and offers down-to-earth support during hard moments.

Her sessions are conversational and goal-focused. She listens first, then helps people break problems into small, manageable steps. Tara adapts the pace and topics to what each person needs, whether that means building coping skills, improving communication, or working on day-to-day routines.

Tara draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work. She helps people with body image worries, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, codependency, eating and food-related issues, and fertility or pregnancy-related concerns. She also supports people facing mood concerns, trauma reactions, and isolation.

People who value clear next steps and practical tools tend to fit well with her style. Sessions may include skill-building, problem-solving, and check-ins on progress. Tara emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassionate listening throughout the process.

Her practice uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. Services are conducted in English and delivered through online formats so people across Colorado can connect in ways that suit their schedules.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Tara uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and problem-solving. One approach emphasizes short-term skill building to manage anxiety and stress through breathing, activity planning, and simple behavioral changes that reduce overwhelm. Another approach focuses on improving communication and relationship skills by practicing clearer requests, boundary setting, and structured conversations to ease conflict and misunderstandings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tara works with each person to identify goals, try different strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps most. She’ll check in regularly and tailor the plan so it fits the client’s needs and daily life.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for flexible timing and different session rhythms. Video is useful for longer conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports short updates or daily skill practice. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep progress moving forward.
