About Tara
Tara Cochran Grall is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) and an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 20 years of experience practicing in Mississippi. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, relationships, family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, depression, and coping with life changes. Tara also addresses adoption and foster care matters, attachment issues, blended family challenges, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, family of origin issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose, narcissism, and post-traumatic stress.
Tara uses attachment-based, client-centered, and trauma-focused approaches to guide sessions. She pays attention to how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people notice patterns that repeat in their relationships. Sessions are aimed at talking through experiences, naming difficult feelings, and practicing different ways of relating to others.
Her work includes attention to spiritual beliefs when clients want that included. That may mean exploring how faith intersects with guilt, forgiveness, or purpose. Tara invites discussion of values and how those values affect choices and emotions.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation about what is happening now and what led to it. She helps people make small, practical changes in how they communicate and respond to stressors. The focus is on understanding patterns and trying new ways to cope.
With two decades of practice, Tara brings experience working with trauma, grief, parenting transitions, and long-standing relationship patterns. She supports people who are sorting through difficult feelings and decisions, including those tied to shame or guilt, and works collaboratively to identify next steps.
How Tara’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current reactions. Online conversations can map those patterns and explore how they show up in daily life, including in parenting and close relationships.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s perspective and pacing. In sessions the therapist listens, reflects, and helps clients name what matters now so they can try different responses to stress or shame.
Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at the impact of traumatic experiences and offers ways to reduce their hold on daily functioning. It helps with symptoms from past abuse, post-traumatic stress, and the emotional aftermath of relationship harm.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tara will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then collaborate on which methods to emphasize in sessions.
