About Tamika

Tamika Burrough is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 16 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction, grief, parenting challenges, and trauma and abuse. Tamika also lists codependency among her focus areas and supports people navigating caretaking strain, career stress, and identity questions.

Her approach is straightforward and client-centered. Sessions begin with what matters most to the person in front of her. She listens to the specific problem, then helps set small, doable goals to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.

Tamika uses practical, skills-based methods. That can include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, learning emotion regulation skills, and practicing communication strategies. She also draws on short-term problem-solving techniques and motivational work when someone needs clarity or a push to make a change.

In sessions she aims to help people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and check what works. Conversations focus on concrete steps - practicing boundary-setting, managing strong emotions, or building routines that reduce stress. Progress is tracked in simple ways so clients can see what changes over weeks.

Tamika accepts people who prefer English-speaking care and is open to working with international clients. To begin, clients typically answer a short questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment so the therapist and client can decide next steps together.

How sessions work

How Tamika uses evidence-based approaches online

Tamika commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is practical and goal-focused, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related behaviors.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for managing intense emotions. DBT techniques include grounding, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation practices that can reduce reactivity and support steadier relationships.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review current problems, preferences, and goals, then try methods that fit. If one approach isn’t working, they adjust the plan together so it better matches the client’s needs.

The original biography does not specify which remote session formats are used. Confirm the available online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work or caregiving schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments are simpler to keep. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises to an online setting so people can practice skills between sessions.
