About Tamra
Tamra Priestley is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in Utah. She focuses on helping people reduce anxiety and stress, improve relationship skills, and manage life changes. Tamra writes practical steps into each session so clients leave with things to try between appointments.
Tamra draws on eight years of clinical experience and time in multiple personal practices. She has worked with employees of large organizations and with first responders and law enforcement staff.
Background and approach
She has also supported older adults facing end-of-life concerns and people dealing with trauma, abuse, grief, and addiction. Her approach blends client-centered conversation with skills-based methods. Sessions often include practical homework, clear strategies for coping, and communication techniques to use at home.
She aims to make therapy feel usable rather than vague or overwhelming. Tamra speaks openly about having faced anxiety and depression herself, and she uses that experience to inform how she supports others. She emphasizes building self-confidence, motivation, and healthier daily routines.
Many clients work on issues such as self-esteem, boundaries, and navigating major life transitions. She also brings life-coaching elements to work on goals, career decisions, and parenting challenges. Tamra values direct, compassionate feedback and helps people create step-by-step plans to reach their goals.
The focus is on steady progress and practical tools that fit everyday life.
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experiences. The therapist listens closely and helps clients find their own solutions, which is useful for building self-esteem and clearer relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, identifies unhelpful thoughts and replaces them with practical strategies. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress because it gives step-by-step tools to change patterns.
Dialetical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal boundaries. It can help when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships keep getting stuck.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tamra will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That partnership helps tailor sessions and homework so progress feels realistic and measurable.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Messaging and live chat let clients send updates between sessions and fit support into a busy day. These options help people keep steady work on skills and goals without large scheduling hurdles.
