Tara McClain

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

Hi and welcome! My name is Tara McClain, MA, LPC and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the great state of New Jersey. I believe in living life in a joyous way, and aim to work with my clients to help them find satisfaction and fulfillment in their lives as well. The relationships I develop with clients are most important. I want you to know that you are understood and feel supported during the counseling process. I know that starting counseling can be a big step, and I am here to provide a caring, nonjudgmental ear while helping you reach your goals.

Do you want me to just listen while you talk things out? Do you want to leave each session with a specific plan of action? Do you need help solving certain problems or making decisions? The treatment modalities I use depend on you and your counseling goals. I most often utilize Cognitive Behavioral, Solution-Focused, Narrative and Client-Focused Therapies.
Treatment with me is very much a collaborative effort, and we will make decisions together so you can feel and be your best.

I have been practicing in a private setting for the past 3 years. I am passionate about my profession, and am excited to meet and learn about how I can assist and support you in this journey!

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can really help. For a range of common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes – online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions. A key advantage is flexibility. Individuals can choose the communication method that suits them best – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. All therapists providing these services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they prefer a different fit. Online therapy can be a practical, accessible way to work on common mental health and life issues while preserving the therapeutic depth found in conventional appointments.
