About Tara
Tara Schoeller is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience across schools, clinics, and independent practice in Georgia. She brings a steady, straightforward style to sessions and focuses on building trust quickly so people can talk openly about what’s hard. Tara centers practical skills alongside personal strengths to help clients manage stressful moments and long-term struggles.
She works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, grief, and career or life transitions.
Background and approach
She also helps people with relationship and family challenges, parenting strain, attention concerns, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Her approach blends talk and actionable tools so clients leave with steps they can try between sessions. Tara uses evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-based work, and client-centered therapy.
She mixes these approaches to match what each person needs rather than following a single formula. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, skills practice, and checking what’s working. People describe her style as down-to-earth and nonjudgmental, with an emphasis on strengths and real-world solutions.
She aims to help clients build self-awareness, reduce impulsive reactions, and find clearer ways to communicate. Practical coping skills are paired with exploration of patterns that keep problems repeating. Tara offers services in English and works with international clients who connect from other locations.
She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and she will collaborate on a plan that fits each person’s schedule and needs.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting ruled by them and to clarify personal values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, anger, and decisions about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and coping with change. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and communication, helping people understand closeness, boundaries, and repeated conflicts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tara will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean combining ACT, CBT, or attachment-focused ideas and adjusting as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared screen work for worksheets or skill-building. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, coaching between sessions, or when someone needs a quick way to process a difficult moment. These options help clients fit therapy into busy lives while keeping the focus on skill practice and steady progress.
