Tameka Dean, LPC - Therapist in Georgia

About Tameka

Tameka Dean is a licensed professional counselor in Georgia with 17 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, family conflict, addiction concerns, grief, and LGBT-related issues. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at helping parents and adults find practical steps forward.

In sessions she focuses on clear goals and simple tools. She brings experience from inpatient, residential, partial care, outpatient, and in-home settings.

Background and approach

That range helps her match strategies to real life situations and family needs. Tameka often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts, set realistic goals, and build calm routines. She also draws on motivational interviewing and client-centered ideas when needed.

She believes people already have the capacity to heal, but past wounds can slow progress. Her role is to guide, educate, and support clients while helping them create a clear plan for growth and recovery. Tameka values a collaborative relationship based on honest communication and mutual respect.

She can take a coaching stance for those who want help building a personal roadmap rather than traditional therapy. Sessions are offered by phone or video, and she practices across Georgia.

Approaches that translate well to online care

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and stress by teaching practical skills to handle difficult moments.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. It can help with stress, panic symptoms, seasonal mood shifts, and building self-love through steady practice.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying small, achievable steps toward what a client wants to change. It is useful for communication problems, control issues, relationship goals, and building a roadmap when someone wants coaching-style support.

Choosing the right approach is part of working together. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: video calls and phone sessions let people meet from home, while live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit consistent work into a busy family life and to try different ways of practicing skills outside of sessions.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.

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.
