Tara Wojtkunski

Tara Wojtkunski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia who supports people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, bipolar disorder, and career-related stress. She also helps with LGBT concerns, coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem. Tara speaks English and draws on 12 years of experience in counseling. She encourages people to take the first step and recognizes that reaching out takes courage.

In sessions Tara focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through their thoughts and feelings. She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to spot patterns of thinking that get in the way. Mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas are used to help clients notice the present moment and choose actions that match their values.

Tara also incorporates elements from client-centered work, offering listening and reflection so people feel heard while they sort options. For people with intense emotions or impulsive behaviors, she draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach distress tolerance and emotion regulation. She supports exploration of identity and meaning using existential ideas when that helps clients clarify goals.

Her approach is collaborative and goal-focused. Sessions often include skills practice, gentle reflection, and planning for real-life changes. People seeking help for workplace strain, gender dysphoria questions, grief, or adjusting after major life transitions may find this approach useful.

Approaches that shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without trying to chase them away and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing thinking patterns and behaviors that contribute to problems, which can help with anxiety, depression, and workplace stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and tolerating distress, often used when people struggle with impulsive reactions or strong mood swings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to try methods that match their needs and goals. Sessions may blend techniques so clients learn useful skills and experiment with what helps most in daily life.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills and process concerns from wherever they are at the time, while the therapist helps adapt tools to real-world situations.
