Tamika Burrough, LPC

Tamika Burrough is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, grief, and trauma. She supports people navigating relationship struggles, parenting challenges, career transitions, and identity concerns including LGBT issues. Her work also covers anger, self-esteem, bipolar mood challenges, and coping with life changes.

She uses a direct, open style in sessions. Tamika emphasizes starting where the person is and building practical steps from there. She encourages small, doable changes that add up over time.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside other methods like Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. That means sessions often include talking through patterns, practicing new skills, and trying different ways to manage moods and reactions. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques when useful.

Across 16 years of work, Tamika has helped people cope with complex issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, caregiving stress, codependency, cancer-related strain, and blended family dynamics. She is familiar with a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges and offers practical tools tailored to each person.

Tamika welcomes English-speaking clients from Oklahoma and beyond, including international clients. Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. She aims to make therapy fit into a person’s life so they can keep moving forward.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Tamika commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new, practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depression. DBT adds attention to emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication when feelings run high. EFT centers on emotional experience in relationships and helps people name and shift patterns that keep them stuck.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Tamika will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. She blends methods so sessions match each person’s needs rather than sticking to a single roadmap.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which suit different situations. Video is helpful for a deeper, face-to-face feel. Phone calls work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging offer brief check-ins and a way to work through issues between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different time zones.
