About Tamara
Tamara Taylor helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem struggles, and life changes. She also supports concerns related to ADHD, bipolar mood issues, relationship and parenting stress, and work or career challenges. Tamara is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 18 years of experience.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She listens first, then helps people name what matters most. Sessions focus on small, useful steps that can ease day-to-day strain and build clearer direction for the future.
How Tamara works
Tamara draws on several evidence-informed methods to suit different needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what they value and take action toward those values.
Mindfulness practices are introduced to calm stress and increase present-moment awareness. She also uses client-centered conversation and motivational interviewing to encourage personal motivation and self-guided change. Therapy may include coaching-style tools for planning, coping, and problem solving.
The goal is to leave sessions with concrete next steps that feel doable. Tamara works with adults ages 18 and up and addresses a wide range of life concerns including multicultural issues, caregiver stress, body image, fertility and HIV/AIDS related stress, and reactions to disasters. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online from Texas.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling follows the therapist's availability.

Online support options
Online approaches that focus on values and behavior
Tamara commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. ACT supports people who feel stuck by combining practical exercises with mindful awareness of thoughts and feelings.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thinking that fuel anxiety or low mood and to test new, more helpful behaviors. CBT is often used when someone wants concrete steps to change how they feel day to day. Client-centered therapy is part of her style too, offering a warm, listening approach that centers the person's own goals.
Finding the right approach is a shared task. Tamara works collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. That collaboration helps ensure therapy fits the person's life and concerns.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video is useful for deeper weekly sessions, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, and messaging or live chat are handy for brief check-ins and tracking steps between appointments. These options aim to increase flexibility and make consistent work on goals more manageable.
