Tara Wojtkunski

Tara Wojtkunski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strains, bipolar disorder, and LGBT-related concerns. She also supports those coping with major life changes, trauma and abuse, work stress, and questions about identity. Her tone is direct and encouraging to make starting therapy feel easier for a worried parent or caregiver.

She creates a straightforward space where clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions focus on practical skills and real-life steps to manage stress, boost self-esteem, and handle mood shifts. Tara uses a mix of proven methods to match each person's needs rather than one fixed plan.

Her work draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people notice thoughts, change unhelpful patterns, and build coping strategies. She also draws on client-centered and existential ideas to keep therapy grounded in what matters to each person.

With 12 years of professional experience in Georgia, she brings steady clinical experience to each session. She is listed with the credential LPC, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor.

People seeking support for gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS concerns, intellectual disability related issues, guilt and shame, personality disorder symptoms, self-harm thoughts, or visual impairment needs can mention these when they match with her. The first steps are simple and the process is collaborative and paced to fit a family's life.

Tara encourages anyone who is nervous about beginning therapy to take the first small step and complete the intake so they can start finding workable strategies together.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that fit their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry or avoidance. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving emotional regulation and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose which methods to try and adapt them as needed so the plan fits the person’s life and needs.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, or remove travel time. Some people prefer video when they want face-to-face interaction, while others choose audio-only for a quieter or lower-bandwidth option. Discussing practical needs at the start helps shape a plan that fits everyday routines.
