About Tamika
Tamika Blaisdell is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years in mental health. She works from Montana and helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, anger, and major life changes. She draws on a varied background that includes work in psychiatric settings, high schools, correctional facilities, and independent practice.
That mix gives her experience with many types of situations and people. Tamika uses practical, conversational methods to help people name problems and try new ways of coping.
Background and approach
In sessions she leans on client-centered work to follow what matters most to each person. She also brings cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Dialectical behavior strategies are used when strong emotions need clearer skills for managing reactions.
Tamika also integrates relationship-focused techniques and hypnotherapy when those approaches fit a person’s goals. She pays attention to attachment, abandonment, codependency, communication, and patterns that keep people stuck. First responder issues and fatherhood concerns are among the focused topics she addresses.
Her style is direct but warm. She helps people set small, doable goals and practices new skills between sessions. People who want straightforward guidance and steady support may find her approach helpful.
Approaches for online anxiety and relationship work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the person’s concerns and priorities. The therapist listens closely and helps people clarify what they want to change and why that matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets the thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety or stress and teaches practical steps people can use between sessions to feel better. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Tamika will discuss which methods fit a person’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. Together they try different techniques and adjust the plan based on what works in real time.
Online therapy supports flexible access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone can be a good option with less bandwidth, chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing notes or quick skill reminders. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep continuity when travel or relocation happens.
