About Tamara
Tamara Phillips is a Florida-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with three years of clinical experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, motivation, and related concerns including social anxiety and phobia.
She keeps sessions focused and practical. Conversations center on what is happening now and what a person wants to change. Tamara works with clients to clarify immediate goals and small steps that can be tried between sessions.
Her approach draws on client-centered work to make space for each person's perspective. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new patterns of behavior. She also uses solution-focused methods to set short-term aims and track progress.
Tamara has experience supporting people through life transitions such as divorce, postpartum changes, caregiving stress, and workplace strain. She also addresses body image, intimacy-related issues, and career concerns alongside anxiety and depression.
Sessions are conducted in English and Tamara accepts international clients. Her LMFT credential reflects practice in Florida. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches used in online sessions and practical benefits
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's perspective so they can set their own goals; this approach helps when someone needs space to sort out feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, social fears, and low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy looks toward small, measurable changes and short-term goals to build momentum.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tamara will discuss what feels most useful and try different methods based on a person's needs, goals, and preferences. Progress is reviewed regularly and plans are adjusted when something isn't working.
If you plan to meet online, confirm the session formats offered before booking. The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy day, avoiding travel time, and choosing quieter surroundings that help focus. Some formats can make it easier to have a shorter check-in or to keep cameras off when needed. Ask about available options when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can pick what best fits your routine.
