She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach skills for changing unhelpful thoughts and managing intense emotions.
Background and approach
Emotionally-Focused Therapy and mindfulness practices are used to explore relationships with oneself and others, and to build awareness of feelings in the moment. Tamara has ten years of experience as an LPC-MH in Tennessee. She often supports people coping with trauma and abuse, depression, panic attacks, and mood difficulties.
She also helps with life transitions, low self-esteem, social anxiety, and issues like guilt, shame, and isolation. In sessions she offers clear tools and small, doable steps. Conversations are tailored to each person’s needs, so plans change as progress is made.
Tamara emphasizes practical coping strategies and emotional skills that people can use between meetings. She provides online options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Sessions follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling is set after completing a brief matching questionnaire.
Online approaches for practical coping and emotional work
Tamara uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for managing strong feelings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when relationship patterns and attachment concerns are part of the struggle, helping people understand and change their emotional responses.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tamara will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as progress is made. The plan can change over time to match changing needs and outcomes.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging can fit into a busy day and make it easier to share thoughts between sessions. These options help people access consistent care while balancing work, family, and other demands.
