About Tamika

Tamika Burrough is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 16 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting pressures, and issues related to LGBT identity and family concerns.

Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She listens first and then helps people set practical goals. She uses clear methods that focus on changing thoughts and behaviors and on improving emotional connection where that matters.

In sessions she uses tools drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to manage strong emotions and on emotionally focused techniques when people want to improve how they relate to others.

Tamika includes motivational interviewing and solution-focused work to help people find immediate steps forward. She also has experience addressing more specific concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, caregiving stress, blended family challenges, and coping with life changes.

She aims to make the work practical and goal-oriented. People who are worn down by parenting demands, workplace stress, grief, or longstanding relationship patterns may find the sessions useful for developing clearer next steps and greater stability.

To begin, visitors choose the online therapy options, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule an initial session to talk about goals and priorities.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Tamika commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and try concrete behavioral changes. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress where practical steps and experiments can change daily habits.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques are helpful when strong reactions or frequent conflict make everyday life harder. Emotionally-focused techniques are used when the work involves improving emotional connection and communication with others.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your goals and preferences, explain different methods, and collaborate on a plan that fits your needs and pace.

The profile does not list specific session formats. Confirm which formats are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and remove travel time so people can meet during a lunch break or between errands. Practical adjustments like these help make consistent work on goals more manageable.
