Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Tamara uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where the client's perspective guides the work; this approach helps people clarify goals, build on their strengths, and make decisions that fit their values. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, or low mood and then developing practical skills to change those patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple strategies to manage stress and emotional reactivity, which can be useful for anxiety, mood challenges, and everyday coping.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tamara works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods feel most helpful based on individual needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions provide flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access care from different locations. These options allow therapists and clients to work together in ways that match comfort, communication style, and practical constraints.
