- LISW, LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the State of Virginia and a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW-S) in the State of Ohio. I earned my Master’s of Science in Social Administration from Case Western Reserve University in 1996. I spent over 15 years in a public social service setting working with adolescents and their families. Most recently I have been in a school setting working with middle school aged youth. I have worked with a variety of issues such as depression, anxiety, behavior problems, and the stress of parenting.
My nonjudgmental, supportive and compassionate nature allows me to build and maintain therapeutic relationships. I have a client centered approach and would enjoy working with you to set both short term and long term goals in therapy. I could help you develop the skills and strategies you’ll need to overcome current and future challenges you may face

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Tamara is a kind and wonderful listener that provides valuable guidance through life’s ups and downs.
Tammy is always there to listen and help me find ways to navigate what’s going on. She makes me feel comfortable and never feel like a burden. This was my first therapy experience and she has made it awesome
Tamara is the first therapist I’ve spoken with whom I felt truly cares about me and doesn’t see me as just another client. She always remembers who and what I’m talking about even if we haven’t talked about that person/topic in months. She reaches out to me when I miss sessions. Knowing my dietary restrictions, she’s sent me recipes after hours that she’s looked up and thinks I could eat. I cannot recommend Tamara enough.
She is so kind and understanding while challenging me in the best ways for me
Tamara has always been readily available, and always up to date on my current topic of discussion when we chat. She offers very helpful advice, as well as worksheets that help a lot! She is very easy to talk to and I feel comfortable speaking with her
Tamara is lovely to talk to and quickly grasped my concerns from the start. I would recommend her to anyone struggling with anxiety issues.
I would recommend Tamara and have already recommended Betterhelp to everyone I know. I feel like therapy has been helping me so far and I would continue to use it. Tamara has a better understanding of me and I love the fact of the nonjudgmental vibes.
