Online therapeutic approach and options
Tamara draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people identify patterns of thought and behavior and to develop practical skills for managing intense emotions and urges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is described in straightforward terms as a way to examine links between thinking and feeling, while Dialectical Behavior Therapy is presented as an approach that emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.
She also integrates Motivational Interviewing and Client-Centered methods to support collaboration and to explore personal goals. Motivational Interviewing is used to clarify readiness for change and to strengthen internal motivation. A client-centered stance guides the pacing and focus of sessions so that work proceeds in partnership.
Remote sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options are offered alongside the clinical approaches above so individuals can choose communication styles that fit their needs.
