Tamara is better than anyone I could have expected. I’ve been in therapy for years but she has such a natural, intuitive way to make me re-frame my thoughts in a different way. She’s compassionate and kind and funny. I feel very lucky I got matched w her.

More about Tamara
- 8 years' experience
- Female
- LISW-CP
I am a LISW-CP in South Carolina with over 8 years of experience as a social worker. I work with individuals who are experiencing anxiety, stress, relationship issues, self-esteem, confidence, and depression. Offering a space grounded in curiosity, compassion, and genuine connection. I strive to create a space where you can show up fully as yourself. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or emotionally exhausted, you will be met with empathy, respect, and understanding. At the same time, I am not a passive listener. I engage actively in our sessions by asking thoughtful questions, offering reflections, and helping you make connections between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Using a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and a strengths-based approach, I gently challenge unhelpful patterns while also highlighting the resilience and strengths you may not always recognize in yourself. My goal is to help you gain clarity, not confusion, to feel supported and empowered.
You can expect a collaborative and conversational experience where your voice matters. I will meet you where you are, while also helping you move toward where you want to be. Therapy with me is a balance of validation and growth—offering both a safe place to land and a space to build new insight, confidence, and direction.
I look forward to speaking with you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
