Background and approach
Tamika uses proven methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach coping skills for intense emotions. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to improve how people connect and Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to set goals and make changes that stick.
People often come for help with family-related stress, abandonment wounds, caregiver burden, or healing after abuse or loss. Tamika works with issues that range from medical stressors like cancer to personality and attachment concerns, always aiming to meet each person where they are. Sessions are offered in English and Tamika sees clients across state lines, including international clients when appropriate.
She offers a mix of session styles so people can choose what fits their life and routine.
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Tamika commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. DBT is useful for people dealing with intense emotions, anger, or patterns that cause repeated conflict. Emotionally-Focused Therapy appears in her approach as well to help people notice and change unhelpful ways of connecting with others.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust them as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes fitting therapy into a busy week easier. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging allow quick, ongoing contact and can reinforce skills between sessions. These options help people maintain consistency and adapt therapy to daily life.
