About Tara

Dr. Tara Harvey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with two decades of clinical experience. Educated at the University of Tennessee, Lindsey Wilson College, and Berea College, she has worked and taught across a range of mental health settings, bringing both practical and academic perspectives to her work.

Her practice emphasizes a whole-person approach that attends to mind, body, and spirit while helping clients navigate difficulties rooted in the past, present, or anticipated future. She draws on a blend of therapeutic methods, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), positive psychology, and client-centered therapy, tailoring techniques to align with each person’s unique needs and goals.

Dr. Harvey’s clinical focus includes work with adults and adolescents on matters such as interpersonal violence, trauma, anxiety, depression, addictions, PTSD, and major life transitions. She also has experience supporting men transitioning from incarceration and addressing the complex challenges that can accompany those shifts.

Grounded in the view that change often begins from within, Dr. Harvey approaches therapy as a collaborative journey aimed at fostering resilience, insight, and practical skills for everyday life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Dr. Harvey integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps them explore personal values and goals. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems. DBT provides skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.



Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Harvey works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.



Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or manage care across distances. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support and skill-building in ways that suit different communication styles and life demands.
