About Tamika

Tamika emphasizes patience and self-kindness during change. She encourages celebrating progress and learning from setbacks. Her approach centers on each person's unique strengths, and she works with clients to set clear, meaningful goals grounded in self-awareness.

With 14 years in mental health, Tamika has helped people with trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and challenges related to chronic illness and caregiving. She draws on several counseling styles and adapts methods to what an individual needs at the time.

Her stated approaches include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.

How her approaches translate to online care

Tamika uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to each person, giving space for clients to guide topics and pace. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive listener who prioritizes their goals.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with health-related stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tamika will check in about goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then tailor methods to those needs. The process is collaborative and may mix approaches over time as priorities shift.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the time spent traveling to appointments. Talk with the therapist about which session pattern would best match your schedule and the pace of your work together.
