Tara Wojtkunski , LPC

Tara Wojtkunski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia who helps people manage anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and challenges tied to gender and sexuality. She also supports those facing trauma, bipolar disorder, self-esteem struggles, and workplace or career concerns. She is experienced in women's issues and can talk through concerns related to HIV/AIDS, gender dysphoria, and caregiving strains.

Tara keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. She aims to make a space where people can name what feels hard and try small, doable changes. Conversations focus on what feels most urgent, and on steps that fit everyday life.

Her background spans 12 years of counseling work in Georgia. That experience includes helping people cope with big life changes, process shame and guilt, and manage self-harm urges or post-traumatic stress symptoms. She draws on a mix of practical methods to match each person's needs.

In a typical session Tara listens first, then helps set clear, realistic goals together. She uses evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness skills, along with client-centered ways of working. Sessions move at a pace the person can handle.

People often seek her support when stress feels overwhelming, when relationships become confusing, or when identity concerns make day-to-day life harder. She focuses on building skills for coping, improving emotional balance, and strengthening self-worth.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward them. It helps when people feel stuck or want to make meaningful changes without getting derailed by negative thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for regulating intense emotions, improving relationships, and handling crises without making things worse.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to what matters most, try a few techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Goals, preferences, and daily life needs guide which methods are emphasized.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when helpful, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, and live chat or text messaging are useful for short check-ins or when typing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep progress moving between sessions.
