Tamara Clark, LPC

Tamara Clark, LPC, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She also supports those coping with depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and bipolar disorder. Her tone is direct and encouraging for anyone taking that first step toward change.

With 26 years of experience licensed in Oklahoma, Tamara works from the belief that each person knows their own story best. She emphasizes clients' existing strengths and uses practical steps to address the problems that brought them to therapy. She named Exposure Response Prevention as a tool she has used for obsessive compulsive concerns.

In sessions she focuses on clear, manageable work. That can look like learning ways to reduce panic, practicing responses to anxiety, or planning small behavior changes to ease depression and addictive urges. Conversations are aimed at making life feel more livable day to day.

She also helps people untangle issues such as communication problems, control struggles, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose. When trauma or post-traumatic stress is involved, she aims to move at a pace the client can manage.

Starting therapy with Tamara is described as a collaborative process. She listens to what matters most, then shapes short- and longer-term steps together. Her approach is straightforward, practical, and respectful of each person’s pace and priorities.

How evidence-based methods fit into online care

Many clinicians use evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with anxiety, trauma, and obsessive behaviors. Exposure Response Prevention involves gradual, guided practice to face feared situations or thoughts and reduce compulsive responses over time. It is often used for obsessive compulsive concerns and panic-related avoidance.

Other evidence-informed approaches focus on teaching practical skills for managing anxiety and mood. These can include learning breathing and grounding strategies, building step-by-step behavior plans, and rehearsing new ways to respond to stress. Such methods aim to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to concerns, discuss possible techniques, and adapt methods to fit each person’s goals and pace. Clients and therapist decide together what to try first and how to measure progress.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online work can still offer hands-on practice of exposure tasks, skill rehearsals, and regular check-ins that fit into everyday life.
