How Tamika’s Approaches Work Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and depression. It often focuses on specific skills and short-term goals.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills. It can be useful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and improving day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tamika will collaborate with the person to decide which methods match their goals and situation and will adjust the plan as needs change.

Session logistics are not listed in the original biography, so confirm the available online formats before booking. Many people find online options help fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel. Online sessions can make it easier to keep short weekly check-ins, attend from different time zones, or avoid commuting, while still using CBT or DBT tools and practicing skills between meetings.
