Background and approach
Mindfulness techniques are taught to help calm the mind and increase focus. Lamara often supports people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, addiction, grief, and trauma. She also addresses concerns like anger, impulsivity, self-esteem, and coping with big life changes.
Her practice includes attention to multicultural concerns and issues tied to prejudice and discrimination. Sessions emphasize strengths and real-world solutions. She helps people break large problems into manageable steps and build small routines that stick.
Motivational Interviewing is used when someone wants help finding their own reasons to change. Clients describe straightforward guidance, steady encouragement, and practical tools they can use between meetings. Lamara works by collaborating on goals, trying short experiments, and adjusting plans as life changes.
She practices in Louisiana and conducts sessions in English.
How Lamara’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building trust so the client feels understood and guided rather than judged. This helps when someone is stuck and needs a space to sort thoughts and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches simple tools to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and for improving daily routines.
Mindfulness therapy teaches short practices to increase attention and reduce reactivity, which can help with stress, impulsivity, and managing strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try different techniques, and adjust strategies based on what fits the person's life and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the client’s priorities guide the plan.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is wanted. Live chat and text allow shorter check-ins, quick homework, or support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family, and other obligations.
