Tamara Thomasson, LPC-MH

Tamara Thomasson is a licensed professional counselor with a focus on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or past trauma. She works with adults who want clearer thinking, steadier emotions, and better day-to-day coping. Tamara communicates with warmth and respect and aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable.

With ten years of experience, she draws on practical methods to address emotional pain and life transitions. Sessions often include concrete tools for handling panic, low mood, social anxiety, and problems with self-esteem or body image. She also supports people dealing with caregiver strain, guilt, shame, and feelings of isolation.

Her approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are used when they fit a person’s goals. The focus is on learning small, usable strategies that reduce distress and build toward longer-term change.

Tamara adapts conversations and plans to each person’s situation. She pays attention to attachment concerns and communication problems that affect relationships, while keeping the work practical and goal-oriented. Sessions balance skill practice, emotional processing, and real-world problem solving.

People who choose Tamara usually want straightforward help for mood, panic, trauma-related stress, or life changes. She offers multiple online session formats so people can pick what best fits their schedule and daily life.

How Tamara’s Approaches Work Online

Tamara uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT focuses on practical steps and clear exercises to reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that help in heated moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tamara will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then try techniques that fit those needs. That collaborative process helps tailor which tools and strategies are used and how quickly to move between skills and deeper emotional work.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and needs. Video calls are useful for longer conversations and skill demonstrations, phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can support quick check-ins and practiced skills between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into daily life.
