About Tara
Tara Prom is a LICSW who focuses on practical help for parents feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or family tension. She speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for people trying to juggle daily life and parenting demands. Tara frames sessions around what is most useful for each person.
She listens without judgment and helps clients set clear, achievable goals. Conversations are tailored to where someone is right now, not a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She also uses solution-focused strategies to build on strengths and set small, concrete steps forward. With eleven years of clinical experience, Tara has worked with people facing trauma, depression, anger, bipolar challenges, and compassion fatigue among other concerns.
She also supports those coping with attachment questions, blended family stress, caregiver burden, substance issues, and feelings of isolation. Sessions are available in English and offered to people located in Minnesota. Tara helps people sort through parenting stress, relationship strain, and life transitions while focusing on what can change now.
The work is practical, collaborative, and paced to each person's needs.

Approaches that guide online parenting support
Tara commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused strategies in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change thought patterns that worsen anxiety or low mood, and it is useful for parenting stress, worry, and depression. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on identifying existing strengths and small steps that lead to change, which suits parents who need quick, practical tools for daily challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tara will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT techniques, solution-focused steps, or a client-centered pace that follows the person’s lead.
Online sessions can fit around busy family schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when interaction matters. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when a flexible, written option is more convenient for a parent balancing work and caregiving.
