About Tamika

Tamika Burrough is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 16 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, relationship struggles, grief, parenting strain, and coping with life changes.

Her approach is straightforward and client-centered. She invites people to talk through what feels most urgent first and then focuses on practical steps. Sessions aim to reduce intense moments and improve day-to-day coping rather than promise quick fixes.

Tamika uses several evidence-based methods in session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides tools for emotion regulation and managing strong reactions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports clearer emotional expression in relationships.

She often blends motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to set goals and plan small changes. That combination can be useful for addictions, career decisions, and shifting unhelpful habits. The work is collaborative - the client’s priorities guide each session.

Over 16 years Tamika has supported people dealing with trauma and complex stressors, including abandonment, attachment issues, caregiving stress, and chronic illness concerns. She also assists those facing career shifts, parenting pressures, or identity questions within LGBT contexts.

Sessions are conducted in English and international clients may be accepted. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling options.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Tamika commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anger-triggered reactions. It is practical for workplace stress, rumination, and changing patterns that lead to frequent outbursts. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. Those tools help when strong feelings escalate quickly and when steadying reactions matters most.

She also integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when relationship problems are involved. That approach helps people name emotions and communicate more clearly with others, which often reduces recurring conflicts. Choosing the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try approaches, and adjust what’s working together.

Confirm current session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove commute time. It can also let someone choose a session style that suits their energy on a given day, such as a focused skills practice or a longer reflective conversation.
