About Tamara
Tamara Prickett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Georgia with 20 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, grief, depression, and major life changes. Her work focuses on practical steps people can use when daily life feels overwhelming.
In sessions she listens for what feels most urgent and then helps clients try doable strategies. She talks through ways to manage strong emotions and offers straightforward techniques to reduce anxiety or handle grief. The approach is conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to immediate problems as well as longer-term patterns.
Tamara also addresses related issues such as attachment and abandonment worries, body image concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, control issues, and isolation or loneliness. She helps people sort through guilt, shame, and impulsive reactions, and supports those facing divorce, midlife adjustments, or money stress.
Her work with LGBT clients centers on the specific pressures they face and practical coping skills. Tamara helps people identify steps they can take between sessions and checks in on what is working. She frames therapy as a process of trying things, reviewing results, and adjusting the plan as needed.
To begin, she asks a few questions to understand current struggles and goals. From there she and the client set simple, measurable steps to practice until the next meeting. This steady, concrete focus guides most of her sessions.
How evidence-based techniques are used online
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building skills people can use day to day. Cognitive approaches help identify and test thoughts that increase worry and avoidance, offering simple experiments to try between sessions. Behavioral strategies emphasize small, manageable steps to face feared situations, which can reduce social anxiety and phobic reactions over time. Skills-focused coping work targets practical routines for sleep, stress, and mood that support recovery from depression and grief.Finding the right mix of approaches happens together. The therapist will review what is most troubling, try an approach for a few sessions, and adjust based on what the client reports. That collaborative process helps decide whether more skills practice, exposure-type steps, or mood-focused work makes the most sense for someone.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and less travel, which can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy week. Online work can allow shorter check-ins when needed and may make practicing in everyday settings more feasible. Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available and how they fit your routine.
