How her approaches fit into online therapy
Tamika practices attachment-based work which looks at how early relationships influence current behavior and emotional responses, useful for relationship stress and attachment issues. She also uses client-centered therapy that focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting each person's own goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is another tool she uses to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions to reduce distress.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust as progress unfolds.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a hectic week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. It can also let people try skill practice in real-life settings between meetings. Ask about the available session formats when scheduling so you can pick what fits your routine.
