How Tamara’s Approaches Work Online
Tamara uses person-centered connection and focused techniques to help people change. Person-centered work focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship. This approach helps people feel seen and supported while they talk through hard topics.She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT-style work helps with anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems by teaching steps to change daily routines and reactions. Motivational interviewing is another tool she uses to strengthen motivation and set realistic goals when people feel stuck or ambivalent.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Tamara will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you see facial cues for deeper conversations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or you want to avoid being on camera, and live chat or text messaging work for brief check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, different time zones, and changing schedules.
