01About Tamela
Tamela Stull-Drugan helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and relationship difficulties. She also supports those facing grief, parenting strain, career pressures, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Tamela speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps someone can use right away.
She is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida and holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential. Tamela brings 22 years of experience in substance abuse and mental health work.
Background and approach
Her background means she understands both the challenges of recovery and the everyday pressures that affect mood and relationships. In sessions she listens first and then shapes a plan with each person. She uses evidence-based tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior.
She also draws on Client-Centered and Solution-Focused approaches to keep conversations grounded and outcome-oriented. Tamela encourages small, realistic steps toward change. That may mean learning coping skills for stress, practicing communication strategies, or building routines that support sobriety and emotional balance.
She avoids jargon and explains techniques in straightforward terms. People who work with her can expect a respectful, down-to-earth style. She tailors discussions and practical exercises to fit each person’s circumstances.
The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

04Online support
How these approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective. The therapist reflects concerns and helps people find their own solutions, which can make online conversations feel collaborative and respectful.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors. CBT works well for anxiety, depression, and stress, and it adapts easily to video or phone sessions where homework and skill practice are assigned between meetings.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve mood. Short guided exercises can be done during a live session or assigned as brief daily practices to use between appointments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and everyday routines to choose methods that fit. That collaborative process means techniques are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and practice new communication skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for short check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick updates, between-session coaching, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family, and recovery commitments.
