Tara Levine

Tara Levine is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted from keeping everything together. She often works with clients who are used to being the strong one but find anxiety, overthinking, or repeating relationship patterns getting in the way of daily life.

Her style is straightforward and supportive. She focuses on identifying the patterns that keep coming back and on practical changes that can fit into a busy life. Sessions aim to feel real and useful rather than overly clinical.

Levine uses approaches drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide conversations and skills practice. She has nine years of experience across multiple levels of care, including work with trauma, mood concerns, and substance use.

In sessions she helps people notice what’s actually happening, name the roadblocks, and try small, concrete changes. This can involve behavior experiments, skills for managing strong emotions, and values-based goals that make sense day to day.

Based in Florida, she works with adults facing addictions, bipolar concerns, depression, stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem struggles, and coping with life changes. She also addresses communication problems, drug and alcohol addiction, and post-traumatic stress as part of that work.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Tara commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. ACT focuses on committed action and noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with real-life experiments. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and changing patterns that keep repeating.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. DBT exercises often include skill practice and behavioral changes that can be tried between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels realistic, and then tailor the mix of ACT, CBT, or DBT strategies. Clients and the therapist decide together what to try and when to adjust the plan.

Confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins on difficult days. Some formats can be shorter or require less bandwidth, which can help sessions fit work or caregiving routines, so discuss practical needs when scheduling.
