About Tara
Tara Sedov is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington and has eight years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting strain, low self-esteem, life changes, and ADHD. She also notes an interest in life purpose and midlife questions. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
Tara uses a person-centered, strengths-based approach that treats the client as a partner in the work. She draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques as needed. In practice this means she listens for what is most pressing and helps people build practical coping skills they can use day to day.
She describes her work as collaborative and goal-oriented. That can involve talking through family of origin patterns, improving communication, or practicing strategies to manage overwhelm and impulsivity. She also addresses issues like attachment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and mood-related struggles.
Tara has additional training and related roles that inform her work. Her background includes work with immigration and multicultural concerns, gender dysphoria, and support around major life transitions such as moving abroad. She mentions experience with obsessive and compulsive patterns as well as with grief, guilt, and shame.
People who choose Tara tend to be looking for clear tools and steady support while they decide what comes next. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to identify priorities and next steps.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are central to her work and are applied in clear, practical ways. One approach focuses on building coping skills for anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding, and short behavioral exercises to use when overwhelm starts. Another approach emphasizes exploring life changes and goals in concrete terms, helping people weigh options, set small experiments, and track what feels helpful over time.Finding the right fit is part of the work. She collaborates with clients to decide which techniques to try and adjusts the plan based on progress, goals, and what feels useful in day-to-day life. The aim is to test strategies and choose what actually helps rather than applying a single method from the start.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, since formats are not listed on the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into workdays, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help people maintain momentum between sessions and to practice new skills in their regular routines.
