About Tara

Tara Romanowski is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who centers her work on relationships and emotional healing.

Background and approach

She draws on a mix of attachment-informed and client-centered approaches to help people navigate communication challenges, conflict resolution, intimacy concerns, and the process of reconnecting with themselves and others. With four years of clinical experience and a master’s degree in Marriage, Couple, and Family Counseling, she blends practical skill-building with curiosity about personal patterns to support meaningful change.

Tara also addresses stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem and life transitions, and she brings experience with grief, compassion fatigue, and a variety of relational and identity-focused concerns including LGBT issues, body image, and codependency. She describes her style as empathetic, approachable, and laid-back while maintaining professional care.

Tara incorporates tools such as the Enneagram and uses evidence-informed models like Emotionally-Focused and Gottman-informed techniques to tailor collaborative treatment plans. Prospective clients can expect a respectful, sensitive partnership aimed at restoring connection, resilience, and clearer communication.

Online approaches for relationships and emotional healing

Internal Family Systems helps clients explore inner parts and how they relate to one another, making it easier to understand internal conflicts and cultivate self-leadership; this approach can be useful for people working through patterns like codependency, attachment wounds, or persistent shame. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relational experiences shape current connection patterns and aims to improve trust, communication, and emotional safety in close relationships. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client's perspective and pace, offering empathetic listening and unconditional positive regard to support self-discovery and personal growth.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic journey, and the therapist will work collaboratively to match methods with a client’s goals, preferences, and life context. Together they will assess which techniques feel helpful and adjust the plan as progress unfolds, allowing for an individualized blend of approaches rather than a one-size-fits-all path.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and varied communication styles. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity through life changes, fit sessions into busy routines, and choose the medium that feels most comfortable for discussing relationship and emotional concerns.
