About Tamika

Tamika Burrough is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, anger, depression, grief, parenting strain, relationship concerns, and related life changes. She brings 16 years of counseling experience and a straightforward, people-first approach. Tamika greets each person with an open, nonjudgmental attitude and focuses on practical steps they can use right away.

She believes therapy begins with the client's goals. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her, and she works alongside them to build skills and clarity. That can mean learning ways to handle intense emotions, breaking patterns that feed addiction, or improving communication and self-esteem.

Tamika uses several practical methods in her work. She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking, dialectical behavior strategies to manage emotions, and solution-focused tools to set concrete next steps. Motivational interviewing helps when change feels overwhelming, and emotionally focused ideas guide work around attachment and relationships.

Her style is direct but supportive. She encourages clients to try small changes between sessions and checks what’s working. Tamika aims to empower people so they can make steady progress toward a calmer and more balanced life.

If someone is ready to begin, she asks them to describe their main concerns and goals so sessions can be tailored from the first meeting.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Many people find that practical, skills-based approaches work well in online settings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Online CBT can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and stress by teaching clear tools and homework to practice between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skill-building for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal interactions. Online sessions can cover those skills, practice techniques, and create plans for using them during everyday stressors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at attachment and emotional patterns in relationships and can be used to help people name emotions, shift responses, and try new interaction habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. A therapist will work collaboratively with a client to match methods to goals and preferences, trying different strategies when needed and adjusting based on what helps most.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use tools learned in therapy in their real routines.
