I'm Itayara Marinho, and I go by Tara. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist offering online therapy for adults and couples throughout Florida in English and Brazilian Portuguese. I work with people navigating anxiety, low self-esteem, difficult relationship patterns, and life transitions. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed on your own or disconnected from your partner, we can explore what's keeping you stuck and identify changes that matter to you.
My style is warm, collaborative, and practical. I draw on cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, and attachment-based approaches to help you understand how thoughts, emotions, past experiences, and relationships shape your life today. Together, we work on coping skills, boundaries, and communication. With couples, we explore recurring conflicts and practice ways to express needs and listen to each other. We choose goals together and adjust the work as your needs evolve.
In our first session, we'll talk about what brings you to therapy, what you'd like to change, and what support would be helpful. You can ask questions about my approach and share what helps you feel comfortable. Together, we'll begin identifying goals and decide whether working together feels like a good fit. As therapy continues, we'll connect insight with practical steps you can try between sessions and check in on what is helping.
