About Tamika
Tamika Burrough is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 16 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, parenting concerns, and more. She focuses on real-life struggles like relationship strain, coping with life changes, self-esteem, and career pressure. Her approach is straightforward and practical.
She invites people to take the first step toward clearer goals and steadier days. Tamika keeps sessions direct and collaborative. She listens first, then helps clients set short-term goals.
Background and approach
She uses clear tools and simple skills people can practice between sessions. The aim is to make daily life feel more manageable, not to overwhelm with jargon. Her work draws on proven therapy methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking, dialectical behavior skills for emotion regulation, and solution-focused steps to build momentum.
She also brings in emotionally-focused ideas when relationships and attachment matter most. Motivational interviewing can help when people are stuck and want to change. Tamika has helped people through trauma and abuse, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and the complexity of blended family or adoption issues.
She also supports clients facing medical challenges, caregiver stress, and serious mood concerns like bipolar disorder. She tailors plans to each person’s situation and goals. Sessions are offered in English and work through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging.
Tamika emphasizes a practical, down-to-earth style so people can try new skills and see what helps in their daily life.

How therapy methods translate to online care
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online sessions can introduce specific exercises and homework to practice new thinking patterns between meetings. DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. These skills translate well to video or text check-ins so clients can rehearse tools and get coaching in the moment. Emotionally-focused therapy helps people understand attachment needs and improve emotional connection. Online conversations and video work let a therapist notice patterns and guide repairs in real time.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences, and daily routine and then suggest methods that fit. That plan can change over time as new challenges or wins appear, and it’s a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a hectic day. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions, get brief coaching, or use written check-ins when a quick update is needed. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent despite work, parenting, or travel.
