Tara Trammell, LPC

Tara Trammell is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 17 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes including midlife transitions and ADHD. Tara brings a warm, respectful manner and helps people talk through difficult emotions and decisions.

She draws on client-centered and cognitive behavioral ideas to shape sessions around each person. Conversations are collaborative and focused on practical steps that fit daily life. Tara avoids labels and aims to treat people with sensitivity and kindness.

Her background includes long-term work with the South Carolina Department of Mental Health. That experience exposed her to a wide range of concerns, including trauma, emotional abuse, relationship strain, and caregiver stress. She also supports people dealing with grief, chronic illness, and issues tied to adoption or attachment.

Sessions often involve identifying unhelpful thought patterns, practicing skills to manage anxiety or anger, and shaping new habits that support mood and functioning. Tara values clear goals and adjustments as needed so progress feels relevant and realistic.

Outside of practice she is a wife, mother, and soon-to-be grandmother, which informs a practical, family-minded approach in therapy. If someone is ready to make a change, she aims to support them with steady guidance and respect.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and building a trusting relationship. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead and helps people discover their own solutions to problems such as life transitions or relationship concerns.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It uses straightforward exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, change unhelpful patterns, and improve mood over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tara will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods that match their goals and preferences. That planning happens together so sessions feel useful from the start.

Session options are not specified here, so confirm current formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports continuing work through life changes and can be scheduled around caregiving, work, and daily routines.
