About Tarin
She uses a multi-faceted approach and integrates several therapeutic modalities into her work, while placing particular emphasis on cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and solution-focused techniques. Tarin aims to create a collaborative environment where clients can explore patterns, develop new skills, and identify values that guide meaningful change.
Tarin holds LISW and LCSW credentials - Licensed Independent Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Social Worker - and brings a commitment to mutual respect, trust, and kindness to the therapeutic relationship. Based in Oregon and working in English, she seeks to help people open unexpected doors toward greater well-being and to support them in shaping lives that reflect their goals and values.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take action toward what matters most, while teaching skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings so they do not prevent meaningful living. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more adaptive patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and unconditional positive regard to help clients explore their experiences and find their own solutions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Tarin collaborates with each person to determine which methods best align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time based on what proves most helpful. This collaborative process helps tailor care to the individual rather than forcing a single method.
Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility and accessibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or those living far from in-person services. Sessions can take place by video call or phone, and additional options like live chat or text-based messaging provide ongoing support between appointments, making it easier to maintain consistency and progress toward goals.
