About Tara Lineberry
Tara Lineberry is a Virginia-based licensed clinical social worker who holds the credentials LICSW and LCSW, clinical social work licenses that indicate advanced training and independent practice authority. She earned a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Southern California and has built her practice around helping people manage a wide range of concerns.
Much of her clinical work has focused on mental health disorders, addiction, domestic violence, sexual assault, sexual harassment, trauma, eating disorders, and issues related to self-esteem. Over the course of her career she has emphasized the value of a strong therapeutic connection and the importance of trust when sharing personal thoughts and experiences.
She approaches therapy as a collaborative process, offering a non-biased and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their feelings and work through difficult situations. She often helps clients recognize their existing strengths and draws on those resources as part of the healing process, believing that people frequently know the next steps they need but benefit from support while working through their thoughts and emotions.
Her counseling style is warm, caring, and respectful, focused on meeting people where they are in their journey. She uses interventions from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients find greater peace and forward movement in their lives.
Tara offers messaging, live chat, and phone sessions and typically checks messages throughout the day, with a minimal expectation of responding 2-3 times daily, seven days per week. She maintains availability in the evenings and on weekends with more limited times during regular business hours, and she notes that calendar listings may not always reflect her full availability.
Reaching out for help takes courage, and Tara acknowledges that strength while offering support to those ready to begin or continue their path toward wellness.
