About Tara
Tara Sedov is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Washington with eight years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and ADHD. Her profile also notes attention to family of origin issues and related concerns such as attachment and communication problems.
Tara uses a person-centered, strengths-based approach. She treats therapy as a partnership and helps people learn practical coping skills they can use outside sessions. She draws from a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques depending on what each person needs.
Her work includes supporting people managing caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and mood-related struggles. She also addresses issues like guilt, shame, impulsivity, and obsessive thoughts, helping clients make sense of how their past roles and expectations still influence them today.
Tara has experience supporting people with immigration-related adjustments and multicultural concerns. She also offers help for those questioning gender identity and for people feeling isolated or unsure about life purpose during midlife transitions.
Her style is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that come from the family someone grew up in and on building skills to respond differently now. She encourages collaboration and ongoing learning, and she supports people thinking about major life changes such as moving abroad.
Background and approach: Tara maintains clinical supervision roles in her practicing states. She continues to attend trainings and workshops to expand her skills and broaden the ways she can help clients. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To begin, she asks people to complete an initial questionnaire so she can match therapeutic focus to each person's goals.
Approaches used and what online sessions look like
Tara draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address current problems and long-standing patterns. One approach she uses focuses on identifying how family roles and expectations shaped present behavior and relationships, helping people notice repeating patterns and try new responses. Another approach emphasizes building concrete coping skills for anxiety, stress, and ADHD-related challenges, such as organizing strategies, pacing techniques, and short behavioral experiments.Choosing the right mix of techniques is part of the work. Tara collaborates with each person to decide which approaches match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts methods as needs change over time. The process is gradual and practical, with regular check-ins about what is and isn’t helpful.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also allows continued support when someone is living abroad or managing caregiving responsibilities. Licensed professionals tailor session length and focus to what best fits a person’s routine and goals.
