Tara Levine, LCSW

Tara Levine is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or like they are just keeping it together on the surface. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, trauma, and relationship or intimacy issues. Her approach is straightforward and supportive so people can make changes that matter in everyday life.

She focuses on what’s actually happening for each person and why certain patterns keep repeating. Sessions aim to clarify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and to build practical steps that fit into a busy life. That practical focus is intended to help new habits take hold rather than feel like extra work.

Levine brings nine years of clinical experience across different levels of care, including work with higher-acuity situations. Her background includes helping people navigate mood-related challenges, post-traumatic stress, and drug and alcohol addiction alongside everyday stress and communication problems. She uses established therapy approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to shape treatment.

People who prefer a direct but empathic style may find her approach a good match. She aims to make sessions feel real and down-to-earth while still addressing difficult topics. Tara sees clients in Florida and accepts international clients who want to work in English.

How ACT, CBT, and DBT Translate to Online Work

Tara uses a mix of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to address symptoms and patterns that show up in daily life. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, and focuses on actions that match personal values. CBT targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and skill practice to reduce anxiety and depression. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships by teaching concrete skills for handling strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they adjust methods as progress is reviewed so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing more flexible scheduling. If you plan to meet remotely, confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what to expect. Many people find remote sessions useful for shorter check-ins, practicing skills in between meetings, or fitting a session into a break at work. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, ACT, and DBT exercises to an online setting so the work focuses on real-life changes and skills that transfer outside the session.
