About Tamika
Tamika Burrough is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who helps people navigate stress and anxiety along with a wide range of other concerns. She draws on 16 years of experience to offer steady support for depression, grief, addiction-related struggles, relationship problems, and coping with life changes. Her style is open and direct.
Sessions start by listening to what matters most to the individual and building goals together.
Background and approach
Tamika encourages people to name small, practical steps they can try between meetings. She uses a mix of methods suited to the person’s needs. That can include cognitive behavioral techniques to reframe unhelpful thoughts, dialectical behavior skills for strong emotions, and solutions-focused work to set clear short-term goals.
Motivational interviewing and emotionally-focused ideas also appear when they fit the situation. Tamika has worked across many areas such as parenting strain, caregiver stress, grief, attachment concerns, and identity questions within LGBT experiences. She also supports people managing anger, self-esteem struggles, career pressure, and burnout or compassion fatigue.
People who choose her often want practical strategies plus a calm, steady presence. She invites clients to move at their own pace while working toward clearer day-to-day coping and better communication. If someone is ready to take a step, she helps shape a plan and stays focused on achievable change.
Therapeutic approaches for remote care
Tamika commonly draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address anxiety, stress, and mood challenges. CBT helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors, which can reduce worry and lift mood. DBT emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance, which is useful when anxiety or anger feel overwhelming.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when relationship patterns or attachment concerns are central. That work focuses on noticing emotional responses and changing how people express needs so interactions feel safer and clearer. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; she will discuss options and tailor techniques based on the client’s goals, preferences, and the issues they bring to sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and longer work, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is a good quick check-in, and messaging supports ongoing coaching between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, care duties, or travel while keeping consistent progress.
