Background and approach
Conversations move from understanding what matters to trying small, useful strategies. She also blends coaching-style support to help people reach short-term goals. Her work draws on several common therapeutic methods.
Tamara uses cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change patterns. She brings mindfulness exercises when people need ways to settle their attention and manage strong feelings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps some clients focus on values and committed action.
Sessions are collaborative and practical. Tamara helps set realistic steps and checks progress from week to week. She aims to build tools people can use outside sessions to handle daily challenges and stressful moments.
With 18 years of experience and a Texas LPC credential, she practices with adults in Texas. Tamara offers conversation, coaching, and structured exercises to help people move toward clearer goals and steadier days.
How therapy approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online ACT sessions often include exercises to clarify what matters and small steps to move toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that cause distress and trying new ways of thinking and acting. In remote CBT, clients may use worksheets, short behavioral experiments, and homework between sessions to track progress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment calm; these practices can be guided in a video or phone session and repeated by the client afterward.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan based on what feels useful and realistic for the person’s life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets the therapist and client see each other for a more conversational feel. Phone can be easier when a quieter connection or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style notes, or when a written exchange fits someone’s schedule. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
