How Tamika’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and respect, helping people name their goals and build on their strengths. It is useful for people who want a supportive space to talk and make choices together.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises and small behavioral steps to reduce anxiety, mood problems, anger, and unhelpful patterns.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name emotional needs and responses. It can be helpful for working through strong emotions, grief, trauma reactions, and relationship patterns at an emotional level.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Tamika works collaboratively to match methods to each person’s goals and preferences. She will discuss different options and adjust the plan over time so the work fits what is actually helpful.
