Tamara Thompson

Tamara Thompson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 28 years of experience. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters most to them. Her style is straightforward and caring, aimed at helping individuals and parents feel heard and understood.

She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, anger, self-esteem, addiction, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Intellectual disability is also listed among her areas of focus. She also addresses family-of-origin issues, adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and communication problems.

Tamara uses practical approaches that help people learn new skills and change patterns. She draws on client-centered work to follow each person’s lead, and on cognitive behavioral ideas to notice and shift unhelpful thinking. She also integrates dialectical behavior therapy techniques and mindfulness to teach emotion regulation and coping tools.

Her work is collaborative and goal-focused. Sessions typically include talking through current struggles, practicing coping strategies, and setting small, doable steps between meetings. Tamara aims to help people build routines that fit daily life and reduce overwhelm.

Based in Louisiana, she holds LCSW credentials listed for Texas and Louisiana. She offers services in English and does not take international clients. To begin, readers are invited to complete the site’s matching process and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

Approaches that translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following each person's priorities; it helps people feel understood and sets the stage for practical change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches concrete techniques to shift unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers specific tools for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best given their goals and daily life. That choice can change over time as skills are learned and needs evolve.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to practice skills between meetings. Please confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Many people find remote sessions helpful for shorter check-ins, quieter conversations, or when travel would be difficult. Licensed professionals can guide the pacing and homework so progress continues even when meetings are spread across a weeknight or a lunch break.
