About Tara
Tara Trammell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 17 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, ADHD, grief, and trauma. Tara’s background includes long-term work with the South Carolina Department of Mental Health.
Tara keeps sessions practical and interactive. She uses cognitive-behavioral and client-centered ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of coping. She also brings mindfulness and narrative techniques into conversations when they fit the problem at hand.
People often come to her with concerns about communication, commitment, parenting challenges, blended family issues, or the fallout from separation and domestic violence. She helps people sort out what matters most to them and then practices concrete skills for everyday life. Conversations can include mood management, problem-solving, or shifting unhelpful storylines about oneself.
Her work draws on motivational interviewing to support change without pressure. That approach is useful for decisions about relationships, caregiving, or lifestyle shifts. Tara aims to match the pace of work to what each person can manage week to week.
Sessions address practical steps as well as feelings. She talks through strategies for managing anger, reducing stress, or coping with chronic illness. The emphasis is on workable tools people can use between meetings.
If someone wants to begin, they are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time, and session cost varies with location.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and building a trusting working relationship. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental place to talk through decisions and emotional reactions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) examines patterns of thought and behavior and teaches specific strategies for reducing anxiety, managing mood, and changing unhelpful habits. Mindfulness therapy helps people notice present-moment experience and reduce reactivity, which can be useful for stress, anger, and chronic worry.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT skills, mindful practices, narrative work, or a combination that fits the person’s needs.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, shorten commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let someone join from a quieter space when that helps focus. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote work so practical skill-building continues between visits.
