Tamika Burrough, LPC

Tamika Burrough is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and trauma. She also supports people managing caregiver strain, aging and geriatric issues, parenting concerns, relationship problems, and career transitions. Her work includes concerns related to LGBT issues, bipolar disorder, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

She brings 16 years of clinical experience to sessions and keeps a straightforward, open style. Tamika emphasizes listening first and tailoring each session to the person in front of her. She aims to empower people to make meaningful, manageable changes in daily life.

Sessions focus on practical skills and clear goals. She uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking, Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation, and solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable steps. Motivational Interviewing is part of her work to help people find internal motivation for change.

Tamika describes counseling as a collaborative process. She works with clients to set priorities, practice new behaviors, and track progress between sessions. Her approach is direct but compassionate, with an emphasis on usable tools rather than jargon.

People considering therapy are encouraged to start by thinking about what they want to change. Tamika helps break larger problems into manageable pieces and supports clients as they try new ways of coping and relating to others.

How Tamika’s approaches translate to online therapy

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It helps people learn emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and more effective communication.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy emphasizes understanding and shifting emotional patterns in close relationships to improve connection and reduce conflict. It can be useful for people dealing with relationship strain or caregiving stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tamika will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can be adjusted over time as progress and priorities change.

The practical benefit of online work can be fitting sessions into a busy routine and reducing travel time. Online care can make it easier to join from different locations, manage appointments around work or caregiving, and keep momentum between visits.
