Tamara Thompson, LCSW

Tamara Thompson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 28 years of experience. She focuses on creating a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what they are facing and feel heard. Tamara aims to help people find practical steps forward and build skills that work in day-to-day life.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered techniques, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to shape sessions. That means conversations are focused on the problems you bring, learning new ways to respond, and practicing useful tools between meetings. Sessions can include short skill practice, goal setting, and feedback about progress.

Tamara has worked across many concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, parenting and family challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, bipolar mood issues, anger, low self-esteem, and relationship or intimacy problems. She also addresses adoption and foster care matters, attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and communication or codependency concerns.

People meet her for help coping with life changes, impulsivity, guilt and shame, forgiveness work, and managing co-occurring conditions. Tamara approaches each person as an individual and adjusts methods to suit personal goals. She provides care from Louisiana and offers sessions in English.

Practical matters are handled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their schedule and comfort.

How Tamara Uses Practical Approaches Online

Tamara commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered techniques to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes that can reduce stress and anxiety. Client-Centered work emphasizes listening, reflection, and helping people find their own answers to relationship, parenting, or mood concerns.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication when those skills fit a person's goals. Together these approaches give clear tools to practice between sessions and space to talk about what matters most. Finding the right mix is part of the process, and Tamara collaborates with each person to shape therapy around their needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skill demonstrations, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options let people choose how they want to connect while focusing on practical progress and consistent support.
