About Tara
Tara Romanowski is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with four years of clinical experience. She works with people facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, stress and anxiety, depression, grief, and challenges tied to identity and intimacy. Tara also supports concerns tied to career strain, compassion fatigue, and life changes.
She draws on approaches that center feelings and attachment patterns to help people understand what’s happening between them and others. In sessions she helps clients notice patterns in relationships, name emotions, and practice clearer communication. She also uses narrative techniques to reframe troubling stories people tell about themselves.
Tara has a master’s degree in Marriage, Couple, and Family Counseling and a bachelor’s degree in Communication. She uses the Enneagram as a tool to increase self-awareness alongside therapy work. She is working toward Gottman Method certification but does not present that as completed training.
Her style is described as casual and down-to-earth. She aims to be direct and practical when helping people rebuild trust in themselves or repair connection with a partner. Sessions focus on small, actionable steps such as communication habits, emotion naming, and boundary-setting.
People come to her for issues related to attachment, abandonment, codependency, blended family challenges, body image, and commitment issues. Tara also assists with coping after separation or divorce and with fatherhood concerns that affect relationship dynamics.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Tara uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds shape present relationships, helping people notice repeated interaction patterns and respond differently. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her work too, where the focus is on listening and reflecting so clients can find their own solutions to relationship and self-esteem issues. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) informs how she tracks strong emotions in the moment and helps people name and process those feelings for better connection.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tara collaborates with each person to choose which methods fit their needs and goals. She helps clients try different techniques and decide what feels most useful as therapy progresses.
The specific session formats she uses are not listed here, so confirm the current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so people can meet between commitments. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises like emotion-focused conversations and attachment mapping to an online setting to keep sessions practical and focused on change.
