About Tarrah

Tarrah Grady is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Missouri with 17 years of clinical experience. As an LCSW she holds an advanced social work license that enables her to provide assessment, therapy, and clinical interventions to individuals, couples, and groups.

Throughout her career she has worked in hospitals, clinics, inpatient addiction treatment programs, prisons, schools, and organizations focused on suicide intervention. That range of settings has given her hands-on experience counseling couples and individuals - both children and adults - facilitating groups and responding to crises. She completed her undergraduate degree in social work at the University of Central Missouri and earned a master of social work from Washington University in St. Louis.

Tarrah has pursued specialized training in several evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing (MI), trauma therapy, and play therapy. Her approach is warm, engaging, and interactive, grounded in respect, compassion, and a nonjudgmental stance. She partners with clients to clarify goals, build practical skills, and support meaningful change across concerns such as stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

Tarrah brings clinical breadth and a collaborative spirit to her work and aims to help people move toward greater resilience and well-being.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Tarrah Grady draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) as part of her clinical toolkit. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and building practical strategies to change behaviors and mood, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and coping with impulsive behaviors. EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that supports processing of distressing memories and reducing their emotional impact, often used when past events continue to affect daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is treated as a collaborative effort. Tarrah works with clients to explore which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time to best support progress.

Online therapy with Tarrah is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and access. These options allow licensed professionals to provide ongoing support, skills practice, and therapeutic guidance across locations and life circumstances, helping clients engage in care that fits their routines and commitments.
