About Tara
Tara Fischer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and other life challenges using a down-to-earth, person-centered style. Tara aims to create a space where clients can be heard and begin to make practical changes.
Her approach centers on the person in front of her. She uses Client-Centered Therapy as a foundation, and draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and solution-focused ideas to match the needs of each person. Sessions can include skills practice, goal-setting, and conversational reflection to help clients move forward.
Over six years she has worked across different settings and helped people dealing with trauma, ADHD, autism, relationship strain, eating concerns, and parenting stress. Tara emphasizes seeing the whole person beyond any diagnosis or label. That perspective guides how she listens and how she plans next steps with each client.
She pays attention to both emotional and practical needs, so sessions may cover coping strategies, communication skills, and routines that support everyday life. The tone is collaborative and respectful, with space for clients to notice what matters most to them.
To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Tara works in English and practices in Wisconsin as an LPC.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following each person's lead, helping people feel understood and able to explore what matters most. This approach supports emotional exploration and building insight in conversation.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) brings a practical, step-by-step focus to thoughts and behaviors. It often includes homework like tracking moods or testing new ways of coping, and it can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which mix of person-centered listening and more structured CBT or DBT skills fits their needs and goals. That decision is revisited as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats available before booking since they are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit regular appointments into a busy life, shorten check-ins when needed, and use tools like worksheets or skills practice between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and goal-setting to work well in remote sessions, and the focus remains on practical steps that help in day-to-day life.
