Tamara Phillips, LMFT - Therapist in Florida

About Tamara

Tamara Phillips is a licensed marriage and family therapist with three years of clinical experience in Florida. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem issues. Her work is practical and grounded, aimed at helping someone take the next small step toward feeling better.

She listens without judgment and adapts sessions to each person's needs. Sessions are shaped around what the client wants to accomplish, with straightforward strategies and check-ins.

Background and approach

Tamara combines talk therapy with practical tools so people can use what they learn between sessions. Her training includes Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person’s goals and experiences, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood. She also uses Solution-Focused and Trauma-Focused techniques when they fit the situation.

These approaches are mixed based on what is most helpful for the individual. Tamara often supports people coping with life changes, workplace stress, intimacy and relationship concerns, and caregiver strain. She also works with issues like body image, postpartum and pregnancy-related challenges, and social anxiety.

Conversations are aimed at building routines, improving communication, and reducing symptoms that interfere with daily life. Her style is warm and respectful. She encourages realistic goals and small experiments to try between sessions.

Tamara’s aim is to help people regain a sense of direction, safety, and hope as they move forward.

Therapeutic approaches used in online work

Tamara uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on the person’s own goals and experiences and helps build trust and understanding in sessions. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which identifies unhelpful thoughts and habits and teaches practical ways to change them for improved mood and functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tamara will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative effort - she checks in and adjusts strategies as work progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more convenient. These options let people meet from home, fit sessions into busy schedules, and follow a consistent plan even when life gets hectic. The variety of formats supports different comfort levels and makes it easier to maintain momentum between meetings.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
