About Tamara
Tamara Prickett is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, LGBT concerns, and major life changes. Her approach is respectful and down-to-earth.
Tamara aims to make the first step feel manageable for people who are nervous about starting therapy. She focuses on practical conversations that address what’s happening now. Sessions often include talking through difficult emotions, learning ways to cope day to day, and building clearer communication skills.
Background and approach
Tamara tailors each session to the person in front of her rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Her background includes long-term clinical work across a variety of concerns related to relationships with others and with the self. She helps people work through abandonment and attachment worries, body image struggles, caregiver stress, and issues that accompany chronic illness and pain.
Other areas she supports include managing control issues, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, and financial or work-related stress. She also helps people navigate divorce or separation, feelings of guilt and shame, questions about life purpose, and challenges that can come up in midlife. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through several online formats.
Tamara uses a collaborative style - she listens first, then shapes the plan with the person’s goals in mind. She encourages small, steady steps toward clearer coping and more manageable days.
Evidence-Informed Support Online
Many people find that short-term, evidence-based techniques help them manage strong emotions and get back to day-to-day functioning. Tamara uses approaches that focus on practical coping skills and improving emotional awareness. For example, skill-building work teaches specific strategies to reduce anxiety and manage stress through breath work, activity planning, and stepwise problem solving. Another common focus is emotion-focused work that helps people notice and name feelings, then practice new ways to respond to those feelings rather than reacting on habit.Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together. Tamara takes a collaborative stance - she listens to your goals and tries methods that match what you need. If something isn’t helping, she adjusts the plan so sessions remain useful and relevant to your life.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how you connect. You can have video calls for fuller conversations, phone sessions when video isn’t convenient, live chat for shorter check-ins, or text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel, and let you choose the format that feels most comfortable for regular work on your goals.
