About Tamara
Tamara Trent is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Texas with 13 years of experience. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and stress. Parents and individuals turn to her for help with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, and addiction-related issues.
Her work is compassionate and straightforward. Tamara listens first to learn what matters most. She then uses practical strategies to reduce distress and build everyday coping skills.
How Tamara works
Sessions focus on real-life steps that fit each person's routine. Tamara draws from several approaches to match the person in front of her. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and increase values-based action.
Attachment-based ideas inform how she talks about relationship patterns and emotional safety. The therapy style is collaborative and paced to each client. Tamara blends gentle exploration with skill practice, helping people notice patterns and try new ways of responding.
She supports clients working through identity and LGBT-related concerns, abandonment or attachment wounds, and challenges tied to caregiving or chronic illness. Telehealth formats include video, phone, live chat, and text messaging for flexibility. Tamara also integrates coaching elements for goal-focused work like career concerns or life transitions.
Her aim is steady progress over time, not quick fixes.

How Tamara’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to someone and taking small actions toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them, which often helps with mood, sleep, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people notice and shift those patterns for healthier relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tamara collaborates with each person to test methods and adjust as needed. She tailors techniques to the client’s goals, pace, and daily life rather than using one set method for everyone.
Online sessions use video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for longer talk therapy and skill practice, phone can fit a tighter schedule or lower bandwidth needs, and live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing coaching-style work. These options make it easier to keep consistent progress without rearranging major parts of life.
