Tara Sedov, LICSW

Tara Sedov is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with eight years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, ADHD, and major life changes. Her style is straightforward and supportive, focused on building skills people can use day to day.

Tara favors a person-centered approach that highlights each person's strengths. She treats therapy as a partnership and adapts methods to match what a person needs in the moment. This can include short-term coping tools and longer-term work to address patterns that keep showing up.

Her background includes clinical social work practice in Washington and Massachusetts, and she brings experience helping people with chronic illness, caregiver stress, obsessions and compulsions, and mood concerns. She also supports people navigating immigration-related stress and multicultural issues.

Tara pays attention to attachment, communication, and family of origin issues that shape how people relate to others. She offers practical coaching around life transitions, including big moves abroad, and helps clients weigh options before major decisions. Breathwork and integration techniques are among the skills she draws on when helpful.

Sessions focus on clear goals, steady skill-building, and realistic next steps clients can try between meetings. People working with Tara can expect direct guidance, collaborative planning, and attention to the everyday challenges that make coping harder.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Many of the approaches Tara uses focus on concrete skills people can practice. Breathwork and breath coaching teach simple breathing patterns to reduce acute physiological stress and support calmer thinking. Integration-oriented work helps people process and link past experiences to current behavior so they can make different choices in relationships and daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That might mean trying a few techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress and priorities change.

If you prefer remote options, check which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, avoid travel time, and maintain continuity during life transitions. Phone sessions may be a quick option for short check-ins, while video can support a more interactive experience with visual cues and guided exercises. Confirm the available formats when you set up your first appointment so sessions fit your routine and goals.
