About Tamara

Tamara Phillips is a Florida-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with three years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship concerns, grief, and issues around self-esteem and motivation. She also lists life purpose and career questions among her focus areas and supports people navigating major changes.

In sessions she uses conversational, person-centered work and practical strategies. She blends Client-Centered Therapy with elements of cognitive behavior techniques and solution-focused methods. That means sessions often focus on what matters most now, testing small changes, and adjusting approaches that are not helping.

Tamara helps people talk through relationship struggles, intimacy questions, and communication problems. She also addresses caregiver stress, workplace issues, and challenges that follow childbirth or loss. Trauma-informed methods are part of how she approaches safety and pacing for difficult material.

Her style favors clear goals and short-term tools when they help, alongside deeper conversations when needed. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where clients and the therapist try options and see what fits.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, the route is to select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Tamara uses Client-Centered Therapy to center sessions on each person's concerns and priorities. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting what feels important, and letting the client's goals shape the work. It can help when someone needs a clearer sense of what matters next.

She also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which links thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to test new ways of responding. CBT is often useful for stress, anxiety, and low mood because it gives concrete skills to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tamara treats selection of methods as a collaborative decision based on your needs and preferences. Together you would try approaches, review what helps, and adjust plans if something is not working well.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by avoiding travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday, or using audio rather than video when bandwidth is limited. These practical benefits can help therapy fit around caregiving, work, or other responsibilities without promising specific session types.
