Tarin Bickford

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

Thanks for taking the time to read my profile! My name is Tarin Bickford and I’ve been a clinical social worker for more than two decades. In that time, I’ve worked with children and adults dealing with a wide-variety of issues such as trauma, addiction, mental health concerns, intimate partner violence, PTSD and child abuse (as well as many other life-altering issues). My approach to therapy is multi-faceted and I incorporate many modalities into my work (although I primarily use cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment and solution-focused therapy).

Life can be so challenging and I commend you for taking the first step toward a better future. Engaging in the therapeutic process opens windows and doors you didn’t even realize were closed. Together we can work on anything that is troubling you so that you can enjoy life to the fullest. I want to help you become the best version of yourself and will do this by fostering a therapeutic relationship built on mutual respect, trust and an abundance of kindness.

You deserve to be safe, happy and well-treated. Let’s work together to turn your life into exactly what you want it to be.

About

Tarin Bickford is a clinical social worker in Oregon with 30 years of experience. Over the course of her career she has supported children and adults facing a wide range of challenges, including trauma, addiction, mental health concerns, intimate partner violence, post-traumatic stress, child abuse and other life-altering issues.

Her therapeutic approach is multi-faceted and draws from several modalities, with primary use of cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and solution-focused therapy. She tailors methods to the needs of each person rather than relying on a single technique.

Tarin recognizes the courage it takes to seek help and encourages people who are ready for change. She believes that engaging in therapy can reveal opportunities and perspectives that were previously closed off, and that work together can address whatever is causing distress so clients can pursue a fuller life.

She aims to help individuals become the best version of themselves by building a therapeutic relationship grounded in mutual respect, trust, and consistent kindness. Tarin holds clinical social work licenses in both Iowa and Oregon and brings three decades of practical experience to her work in Oregon.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can make a real difference. For most common concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes – online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

A major benefit of remote therapy is flexibility. Clients can connect in the way that feels most comfortable to them – through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.

Therapists who offer online services are licensed professionals, and clients may switch to a different therapist at any time if they want a different fit. For many people dealing with everyday mental health concerns, online therapy provides an accessible and effective option for support.
