Tamika Burrough , LPC

Tamika Burrough is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and trauma. She also supports clients facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, career concerns, and issues related to self-esteem and coping with life changes. Tamika offers practical guidance for people navigating loss, compassion fatigue, or major transitions.

Her approach is straightforward and client-centered. She keeps conversations open and direct. Sessions focus on what the person needs right now and on small, doable steps toward change. Tamika uses tools from well-known therapeutic approaches to help people build coping skills and solve current problems.

With 16 years of clinical experience, she blends several methods to fit each person's goals. That may include focusing on thoughts and behaviors, learning emotion regulation skills, or working on attachment and relationship patterns. She aims to make therapy feel collaborative rather than prescriptive.

Tamika works with people across a wide range of concerns, including LGBT-related stress, bipolar disorder, abandonment and attachment issues, caregiver stress, and complex grief. She also addresses concerns such as cancer-related stress, adoption and foster care questions, and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder when relevant to individual needs.

Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled by following the standard intake steps on the site. Tamika frames therapy as a partnership and focuses on practical progress the client can notice between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors. In online work this often looks like setting small practice tasks between sessions and reviewing how they went. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. Those skills can be learned via video or text and practiced in daily life to reduce intense reactions and improve communication.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. From there she adapts techniques and checks in regularly to make sure the plan fits the client's needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face dialogue and full-session work, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and live chat or text messaging can support quick updates, coping check-ins, or coaching-style guidance between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work from different locations.
