About Tamekia
Tamekia "Mika" Flanngan is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She also supports those facing grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Mika writes short, clear plans and talks through what matters most to each person.
She brings five years of professional experience working with these concerns. Mika focuses on understanding how everyday patterns - thoughts, habits, and relationships - affect mood and behavior.
Background and approach
She adapts conversations and strategies to each person's pace and needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all script. Sessions emphasize practical steps people can try between meetings. Mika helps clients build routines, cope with difficult emotions, and practice small changes that add up.
She pays attention to issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and workplace strain. Mika also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. She uses straightforward talk to name problems and then plans doable actions.
Her style is respectful, calm, and focused on real-life improvements. People who meet with Mika often want a therapist who listens and helps them try new ways of coping. She works from California as an LCSW and conducts sessions in English.
The goal is to help people feel more capable and make steady progress toward what matters to them.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Many evidence-based techniques focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and building small habits. One approach emphasizes identifying anxious or negative thoughts, testing them, and practicing more balanced thinking to reduce worry and rumination. This method helps with social anxiety, generalized anxiety, and stress-related problems.Another approach centers on skills for managing strong feelings and improving daily routines. It teaches short, concrete coping strategies such as grounding exercises, paced breathing, scheduling pleasant activities, and planning step-by-step behavior changes. These skills support people facing depression, grief, chronic illness, or caregiver stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That process may include trying different techniques early on and adjusting what is used as progress and challenges become clearer.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, shorter check-ins, and continued contact when in-person visits are difficult.
