About Tameka
Tameka Dean is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and issues around self-esteem. She works with people who are navigating grief, intimacy concerns, addictions, and LGBTQ-related challenges. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online by phone or video.
With 17 years in the mental health field, Tameka has worked in inpatient, residential, partial care, outpatient, and in-home settings. That range has given her practical experience with a wide variety of problems and life stages.
Background and approach
She leans on everyday tools that clients can use between sessions, not just ideas to discuss in the room. Tameka draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to help clients change unhelpful thoughts, set clear goals, and develop calmer attention. She also uses motivational interviewing and a client-centered stance when it fits the person’s needs.
Her aim is to guide and support while people take the lead on their own progress. Many people come wanting help with communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, or finding life purpose. Tameka helps people map practical steps toward those goals and checks progress along the way.
She will shift between coaching-style work and deeper therapeutic work depending on what the person needs. Tameka values straightforward communication, honesty, and mutual respect in sessions. If someone wants a collaborative approach to healing, she offers steady guidance and practical strategies to build long-term change.
How CBT, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Work Online
CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online sessions use talk and simple homework exercises to reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing skills to calm the body and reduce reactivity. These practices work well for stress, panic attacks, and seasonal mood shifts. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on setting clear, short-term goals and building small steps toward them. It helps when someone wants faster, practical changes and a roadmap to move forward.Choosing which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining parts of different approaches and adjusting over time as progress is made.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can fit into a busy schedule or when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are helpful for brief check-ins, quick problem-solving, or when someone prefers typing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and keep continuity between sessions.
