About Tamika

Tamika Burrough is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who brings 16 years of clinical experience to a broad range of emotional and life challenges.

Background and approach

She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship difficulties, grief, parenting concerns, career questions, bipolar disorder, and issues around self-esteem and anger.

Her practice also addresses needs linked to LGBT matters, family dynamics, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes, along with additional focuses such as attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, and blended family issues. Her therapeutic approach is client-centered and collaborative, guided by practical strategies that help clients set realistic goals and build skills.

Tamika often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among other evidence-informed methods to help people reframe unhelpful thinking and try new patterns of behavior. She aims to create an open, respectful working relationship that begins with each client’s priorities and strengths.

Tamika encourages those ready to seek support to reach out for guidance and partnership as they work toward more fulfilling, balanced lives.

Practical Approaches for Online Work and Skill Building

Tamika commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify patterns of thinking that contribute to distress and to develop concrete strategies for changing behaviors. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when emotional regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are priorities, offering structured tools for managing intense feelings and improving relationships. These approaches are presented in clear, actionable terms so clients can practice new skills between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative; she works with each person to explore needs, goals, and preferences and then adapts methods that fit the situation. Clients and therapist together monitor progress and adjust techniques as the work evolves, keeping the focus on what helps the individual move forward.

Online therapy with Tamika is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. Remote sessions make it easier to maintain consistency, access support from wherever the client is located, and practice skills in everyday settings while receiving professional guidance from a licensed professional.
