Mindfulness techniques are offered to reduce stress and support emotional regulation. Over an 18-year career Lamara has worked across a range of concerns including addiction, post-traumatic stress, bipolar mood concerns, and family conflict. She also addresses blended family issues, communication breakdowns, divorce and separation, and struggles tied to prejudice or multicultural stresses.

Online support options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy places the client's needs and priorities first. Online sessions follow the client's pace, with conversations shaped around what matters most and practical next steps. This approach helps when someone wants a supportive space to sort through feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions Lamara helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns, try new behaviors, and track progress between meetings. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and impulse-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lamara will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they check what is helping and shift strategies when needed rather than sticking to a single plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for conversation and teaching new skills, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text let people check in or have shorter exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between sessions.
