About Tarrah
Tarrah Grady is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people cope and move forward. She brings 17 years of clinical experience and a straightforward, warm style to sessions. Her work focuses on common struggles like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, ADHD, and stress related to caregiving or life changes.
Tarrah blends practical tools and talk-based work so people can try new ways of handling problems between sessions.
Background and approach
She uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thought patterns, acceptance-based strategies to build values-driven action, and skills drawn from dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. EMDR is also part of her toolbox for people processing trauma memories. Her background includes clinical roles in hospitals, outpatient clinics, inpatient addiction treatment, prisons, schools, and suicide intervention organizations.
That variety shaped her ability to work with strong emotions, crisis moments, and complex stressors. She has experience counseling individuals and couples, leading groups, and responding to crisis situations. Tarrah earned a bachelor’s degree in social work from the University of Central Missouri and a master’s degree in social work from Washington University in St.
Louis. She holds the Missouri Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential - LCSW. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Tarrah aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can set realistic goals and practice new responses to old problems.

Online support
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Tarrah uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking and then try small behavior changes that reduce symptoms. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday stressors. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters most and take actions that align with those values, which can be helpful for coping with life changes and ongoing symptoms.When trauma is part of the picture, elements of EMDR may be used to address distressing memories while DBT skills can teach concrete ways to manage intense emotions. Choosing the right combination of methods is a collaborative decision. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and symptom patterns and suggest which approaches to try first, adjusting the plan as needed based on what helps.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be a good fit when less bandwidth is available or the session needs to be shorter. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, and ongoing skill practice between sessions. These options let people fit therapy around work, caregiving, and travel while keeping therapy consistent.
