About Tamika

Tamika Stewart is a licensed professional counselor with two decades of experience in mental health. She focuses on common family and parenting concerns such as stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk through hard things and begin practical changes.

Tamika began her training with a Bachelor of Science in Public Health Education from Indiana University Bloomington.

Background and approach

She moved to Georgia in 2000 and completed a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling at Argosy University Atlanta in 2004. Her early work included prevention and intervention programs for at-risk youth and community-based services. Over about 20 years in the mental health field she has helped design and run programs that bring services into people’s homes and neighborhoods.

That work included support for people with substance use concerns, mental health diagnoses, and developmental disabilities. She also advocates for suicide prevention, intervention, and public education. In sessions she uses a direct but warm approach.

She builds a safe space where honest conversations can happen and practical steps are discussed. Her goal is to help individuals and caregivers stabilize difficult moments and create changes that last. Tamika is licensed as an LPC in Georgia, and she offers counseling in English.

She welcomes conversations from people who want to explore next steps and support for the challenges they face.

Approaches that guide online family and parenting support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person with respect. The therapist follows the client's lead, helps reflect what they’re feeling, and supports them in choosing changes that feel right. This approach is useful for people who need a nonjudgmental space to sort through emotions and decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches small practical skills to try at home. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with mood or behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, needs, and preferences and then recommend a path to try. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online sessions make it easier to fit counseling into busy family schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, while phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging give flexible options for shorter check-ins or times when getting on video is hard. These formats let people access licensed professionals without traveling and make it simpler to maintain steady support.

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.
