About Tamika
Tamika Thomas is an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns. She also supports people facing life changes, career questions, and issues around codependency and body image.
Her approach is practical and straightforward. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what can be changed next. She uses methods from acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and emotionally-focused therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses.
Tamika pays attention to how communication, control, and commitment patterns affect daily life. She works with people who struggle with jealousy, workplace stress, fatherhood issues, or problems saying no. In conversations she helps clients name specific behaviors, set small goals, and practice skills between sessions.
Clients can expect a collaborative style that combines talking and teaching. Tamika draws on client-centered and dialectical behavior therapy tools to build practical skills for emotion regulation and clearer boundaries. She also weaves in relationship-focused techniques when the goal is improving connection or communication.
To begin, the site asks prospects to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Tamika prefers to message first before a time is booked so she can confirm fit and next steps. She works in English and practices in Ohio as an LPCC.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxious thinking and change unhelpful habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on how emotions shape connections and can help when communication or closeness in relationships is a concern.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what helps in day-to-day life.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as this profile does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for quick check-ins between commitments. They also let people use phone-only check-ins when video would be difficult, or longer video sessions when more interaction is helpful. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt exercises and homework so they work well in remote sessions and match a client's schedule and preferences.
