About Tamra

Tamra Dewbre is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, parenting, and coaching. Tamra aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can say what they feel and think.

Her sessions are brief and practical, designed for people who prefer focused, time-limited work. Her background includes extensive work alongside first responders, including police, fire, and EMT teams, using Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) and debriefing skills.

Background and approach

That experience informs her approach to trauma and stress-related concerns, and she draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy when those needs arise. Tamra also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT to help people notice their values and take actions that matter to them.

Tamra brings client-centered and narrative techniques into sessions to help people tell their stories and find new ways to move forward. She often uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, achievable steps that reduce immediate distress. Conversations are practical and oriented toward clear goals.

People who prefer shorter sessions and a direct, respectful manner typically find her style useful. Tamra explains options and works with clients to choose approaches that fit their needs. She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging for flexibility.

All sessions are conducted in English and take place with her Texas LPC license. The format and frequency are discussed when starting therapy so the plan fits each person’s life and schedule.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, relationship frustrations, and making choices when feelings get in the way. Narrative Therapy helps people tell and reframe their stories so troubling patterns feel less fixed; it can be helpful for trauma, identity concerns, and relationship histories.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try approaches that fit. Adjustments are made as therapy proceeds so the plan stays practical and relevant to the client’s life.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps, while phone or chat options may suit busy days or those who prefer less visual contact. Messaging and live chat make it easier to check in between longer sessions and fit work into a packed schedule.

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.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
