01About Tara

Tara Nunley welcomes people who are feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, low mood, or struggles with self-esteem. She helps clients untangle relationship and family conflicts and supports work on communication, forgiveness, and loneliness. Tara speaks plainly and focuses on practical next steps you can use between sessions.

Tara is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Virginia with 15 years of experience. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on.

Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative and paced to what the client is ready for. In the room she listens for patterns that keep problems repeating. Then she helps people try small, manageable changes.

Those changes aim to reduce anxiety, rebuild confidence, and improve how people connect with others. Tara emphasizes simple tools that fit busy lives. That can mean short experiments, new ways to talk about needs, or practicing self-compassion when things feel hard.

She balances support with clear, practical suggestions. If someone is unsure where to start, Tara helps set small goals and tracks progress together. Her goal is to make therapy feel useful and understandable.

Sessions move at a realistic pace so people can practice new skills between meetings.

04Online support

Approaches that guide online work

Two common evidence-based approaches she uses focus on changing patterns that keep problems going and building skills for better daily functioning. One approach helps people notice unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and then test new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach centers on learning concrete communication and emotion-regulation skills to improve relationships and ease family conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, needs, and preferences. Together they choose techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people work face to face when that helps. Phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and maintain regular contact with a licensed professional.
