About Tamika
Tamika Burrough is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 16 years of experience. She works with young adults and others dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, career concerns, and related life changes. She also supports people facing issues linked to identity and LGBT concerns, compassion fatigue, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder.
Her approach is straightforward and client-centered. She keeps the conversation open and begins by listening to what a person wants to change. Sessions focus on practical steps, coping strategies, and building skills that can be used between meetings.
Tamika draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That mix lets her shift between problem-solving, emotion work, and motivation-based coaching depending on what a client needs. She uses tools and short-term goals alongside deeper emotional work.
Clients can expect collaborative planning. Tamika helps people set realistic goals, try new behaviors, and track small wins. Conversations often include learning new ways to manage intense feelings, improve communication, and reduce unhelpful thinking patterns.
She accepts English-speaking clients and works with people both in Oklahoma and internationally. Getting started usually means a short questionnaire and scheduling an initial session to agree on goals and a plan of work.
Therapeutic approaches and online work
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change feelings. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with everyday stressors. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to handle intense feelings and relationship conflicts. EFT helps people identify and work with emotions in relationships and personal patterns to improve connection and self-understanding.Choosing the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can change as progress is made and new concerns come up.
Session options are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time for appointments. Many clients find that meeting remotely helps maintain consistency around school, work, or caregiving responsibilities. Licensed professionals adapt exercises, homework, and pacing so work between sessions stays practical and relevant.
