About Tamika
Tamika Burrough is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 16 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, parenting strain, and a wide range of other challenges. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Her approach is straightforward and client-centered. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to look at emotions and attachment patterns that are hard to name. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to address thinking patterns, coping skills, and motivation.
In sessions she helps people name strong emotions and notice how those feelings shape their choices. Practical skills are introduced when needed, such as grounding and behavior strategies from CBT and DBT. Motivational Interviewing is used to clarify goals and increase readiness for change.
Tamika also supports people facing specific life situations like adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, cancer-related worries, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and coping after disasters. She addresses mood conditions such as bipolar disorder and disruptive mood dysregulation concerns alongside everyday struggles like career stress and low self-esteem.
Her style is open and collaborative. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The counselor notes that sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time and that costs vary with location.
How Tamika’s approaches translate to online therapy
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying emotions and attachment patterns that influence behavior and relationships. It helps people put words to difficult feelings and see how those emotions guide their choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for regulating intense emotions and improving distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences, and which combination of EFT, CBT, or DBT will fit best. That collaborative process helps guide what is practiced in sessions and which skills are emphasized.
