About Tamara
Tamara Trent is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 13 years of experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and ADHD. She writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person. Her style is compassionate and practical, aimed at small, steady changes that fit day-to-day life.
She uses a blend of approaches that focus on values, thoughts, and relationships. Sessions move at a practical pace - setting clear goals, trying out new skills, and checking what works.
Background and approach
Tamara helps people build self-compassion, improve communication, and manage stress in everyday situations. Her work often addresses grief, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, and career or parenting strain. She helps people navigate big life changes and recover from abuse or attachment wounds.
She also supports those dealing with chronic illness, caregiving stress, and co-occurring concerns. Tamara draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take meaningful action. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and experiment with different behaviors.
Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods shape how she builds trust and follows each person’s lead. Sessions are offered in English and Tamara accepts international clients. She practices out of Texas as an LCSW and brings a steady, respectful presence to the work.
Many clients come for focused coaching around goals as well as therapy for long-standing concerns.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related overwhelm, and life transitions because it emphasizes action over getting stuck in thoughts.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It supports change by breaking problems into concrete skills and experiments that can be practiced between sessions.
Attachment-Based and Client-Centered work shape how sessions feel. Attachment ideas guide conversations about patterns in close relationships. A client-centered stance means the therapist follows each person’s lead and builds work around their priorities.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Tamara will collaborate to pick methods that match a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. Together they’ll adjust pace and techniques as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face interaction and skill practice. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text let people send short updates, try brief coping tools between meetings, and fit therapy into busy days.
