About Tamra

Tamra Zeller is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who helps people untangle relationship and family challenges. She works with issues like trauma and abuse, intimacy and parenting struggles, anxiety and depression, addiction, grief, and stress. Tamra uses straightforward conversations to identify strengths and practical next steps when life feels stuck.

Her style is down-to-earth and goal-oriented. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and feelings affect actions.

Background and approach

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which supports taking action toward values even when emotions are difficult. Sessions focus on small, usable changes rather than long explanations. Tamra has 21 years of clinical experience and has spent much of her career working with sex offenders, their families, and victims, as well as people affected by domestic violence.

That background informs her work with complex trauma and entrenched relationship patterns. She notes that sex offender treatment requires completion of recognized legal programs before certain types of therapy. Clients can expect a direct but respectful approach that encourages questions and collaboration.

Tamra pays attention to cycles of emotional abuse and attachment patterns, and she brings tools for communication, boundary-setting, and coping with life changes. Outside work she gardens organically, hikes, skis, camps, kayaks, and cares for a rescue dog named Blue. She aims to help people find healthier, more authentic ways of relating to others and to themselves.

How Tamra’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then take action that matches their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and when life changes make decisions hard.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep problems, and coping with stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then try methods that fit the client’s needs. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions and adjust techniques over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy family lives and people living far from care. Video calls let the therapist observe interactions and body language, while phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide shorter or more frequent check-ins. These options make it easier to continue regular work on communication, parenting, trauma processing, and coping skills without travel.

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.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
