Tamara Trent, LCSW

Tamara Trent is a Texas-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 13 years of experience helping people through difficult life moments. She focuses on common concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. People also seek her help for sleep or eating problems, addiction concerns, parenting strain, and career-related stress. Tamara uses a blend of practical approaches tailored to each person. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and on acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values and build action. Attachment-based ideas guide work on close relationships and relational patterns, while client-centered principles keep sessions grounded in the person’s own goals and pace. Her style is warm and straightforward. Sessions aim to be collaborative and focused on skills that can be used between meetings. Tamara helps people manage overwhelming feelings, develop better communication, and set small, realistic steps toward change. She has experience across a wide range of concerns, including grief, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and issues connected to aging, caregiving, chronic illness, body image, and dissociation. That background informs how she matches methods to what each person needs. Tamara welcomes conversations about life direction, meaning, and coping with major transitions. She works with people from diverse backgrounds and supports LGBT concerns. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.

How Tamara’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small, guided steps toward those values. It’s often used for anxiety, depression, and difficulty making changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how past bonds shape current reactions, which can help with communication and intimacy issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on linking thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so people can try practical experiments that change daily routines and reduce distress.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they adjust methods over time, blending techniques so the plan fits the client’s needs and life circumstances.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments are simpler to keep. For some people, audio-only meetings use less bandwidth and can feel less intense than video. Discussing practical details up front helps ensure sessions are scheduled in a way that supports consistent progress.
