Tamara Thomasson, LPC-MH

Tamara Thomasson is a licensed professional counselor who helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She greets clients with straightforward care and aims to make early conversations calm and clear. Her approach is practical and focused on immediate needs so people can start feeling steadier sooner.

Tamara uses short-term tools as well as deeper work to address trauma, depression, and low self-esteem. She adapts conversations and plans to match each person's situation instead of using one fixed method. Expect a mix of skill-building, emotion work, and problem-solving tailored to what is most pressing.

With ten years of experience, Tamara draws on several therapeutic approaches. These include cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking, dialectical skills for emotion regulation, and emotionally-focused ideas for understanding relationships and attachment. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are also part of her toolkit when they fit a client's goals.

Sessions typically center on practical steps you can try between meetings. Tamara pays attention to how stress, past trauma, and shame can affect daily life, and she helps people build habits to reduce panic, manage mood shifts, and reconnect with purpose. She encourages small, steady changes and checks in on progress as therapy continues.

People who want clear, compassionate support for anxiety, coping with life changes, or healing from past harm may find her style useful. She works in Tennessee and conducts sessions in English.

How specific approaches fit into online therapy

Tamara commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying small behavior changes to shift moods and reduce anxiety. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling overwhelming situations.

She also draws on emotionally-focused ideas to help people understand how attachment and relationship patterns affect their feelings. These approaches are used to notice patterns, practice new responses, and build stronger coping habits over time. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work; Tamara collaborates with each person to decide what fits the goals and comfort level of the client.

Please confirm the therapist's session formats before booking, as the available formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing quicker check-ins, and letting people join from places that offer quieter surroundings or less screen bandwidth. Licensed professionals can adjust pacing, assign between-session exercises, and use a mix of skills training and problem-focused work to help clients move toward their goals.
