More about Tamara
- 7 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I'm a licensed therapist in Texas with a passion for supporting clients through life's most challenging moments. I work with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, and the complex emotions that arise during major life transitions.
My approach is grounded in compassion and respect for each person's unique journey. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your concerns—whether that's building self-esteem, improving communication, processing grief, or working through past hurts. I'm experienced in helping clients address anger, shame, guilt, and the patterns that may be holding them back from living authentically.
I draw from evidence-based therapeutic practices to support you in developing healthier coping strategies, strengthening relationships, and reconnecting with your sense of purpose. Whether you're facing relationship challenges, workplace stress, life transitions, or deeper emotional wounds, I'm here to walk alongside you with genuine care and professional expertise.
I believe healing happens in relationship, and I'm committed to meeting you where you are with honesty, cultural sensitivity, and respect for your values and beliefs. Taking that first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to support you on your path forward.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
