Dr. Tara Harvey , LPC

Dr. Tara Harvey helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She is Dr. Tara Harvey, an LPC with two decades of practice in mental health. She works with adults on life transitions, career concerns, parenting strain, and challenges related to mood and behavior.

Her style is straightforward and practical. She listens first and then offers tools you can use between sessions. Sessions focus on clear goals, skills you can practice, and steps that fit day-to-day life. She draws on approaches that help people change thoughts, manage emotions, and improve relationships.

Over 20 years she has worked in a range of mental health settings and in teaching roles. That background shapes how she blends short-term problem solving with deeper work about patterns and history. Her experience includes supporting people with trauma, substance concerns, bipolar mood patterns, and compassion fatigue.

She uses client-centered methods to keep the work focused on each person’s needs. Cognitive behavioral tools help with symptoms and coping. Dialectical behavior ideas add skills for emotion regulation when feelings feel overwhelming.

Dr. Harvey provides sessions from Tennessee and conducts therapy in English. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location and therapist availability.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, listening stance where the person’s goals guide each session. It helps people who want a supportive space to make decisions and work through emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills for intense feelings and relationship strain.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then try methods that fit what you need. Over several sessions she and the client reassess what is working and adjust the plan together.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between visits. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, manage short check-ins, or continue work during life transitions.
