About Tamara

Tamara Taylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on issues parents often bring up - stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, grief, and parenting concerns. She writes and listens with care, giving each person a fresh, nonjudgmental space to talk. Her approach blends practical coaching with therapy to help people find tools and next steps for daily life.

Tamara relies on straightforward methods that feel useful right away. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and take values-based action.

Background and approach

She also uses Client-Centered techniques and motivational interviewing to make room for each person’s priorities. Sessions aim to be practical. Tamara helps people name what’s hard, set small goals, and build routines that reduce overwhelm.

She offers mind-body ideas and exercises drawn from mindfulness training when they fit a person’s needs. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns, including mood disorders, ADHD, relationship and communication problems, career questions, compassion fatigue, and issues related to aging and caregiving.

She also works with LGBT concerns, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, and topics such as fertility, HIV / AIDS, and body image. Tamara brings 18 years of clinical experience and holds the LPC credential - Licensed Professional Counselor. She sees adults who are ready to work on change and is based in Texas.

Sessions are offered in English and provided through online formats.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choosing actions that match what matters to you. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by shifting attention toward values and committed steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and coping with day-to-day stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an open, respectful listening stance where the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports their own problem solving.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Tamara approaches selection collaboratively, listening to goals and trying approaches that fit a person’s preferences. She adjusts methods over time so sessions stay useful and focused on what the client wants to change.

Online therapy lets people access these approaches without traveling. Sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. This flexibility can make regular contact easier and supports steady progress through short practical check-ins and longer conversations as needed.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
