Tamika Burrough, LPC

Tamika Burrough is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and relationship struggles. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, and career-related stress. Tamika names LGBT concerns, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue among the issues she addresses.

Her style is direct and open. She says therapy starts with the person who walks into the room. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on practical steps that can be used between visits. She emphasizes listening first and then helping clients try different ways to cope and grow.

Tamika uses a mix of evidence-informed methods. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to build emotion regulation and distress tolerance. She also incorporates Emotionally-Focused and Solution-Focused approaches and Motivational Interviewing when it fits the client’s goals.

With 16 years of experience, Tamika brings steady support and a calm presence. She aims to empower people to make choices that match their values and needs. Her approach is collaborative and goal-oriented, with attention to both immediate concerns and longer-term change.

If someone wants to begin, she asks them to describe what they hope will be different and what has already been tried. From there she helps set manageable steps and checks progress along the way.

How therapy approaches guide online work

Tamika commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in her practice. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, which can help with anger, self-harm urges, and relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tamika works collaboratively to match methods to a client’s situation and goals. She listens to what has or hasn’t helped before and tailors techniques so they fit the person’s daily life and values.

The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online therapy practical because it can reduce travel, make it easier to fit sessions into a workday, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions can also make it simpler to continue work during relocation or when coordinating across time zones. Licensed professionals can use these tools to deliver CBT and DBT skills, track goals, and follow progress in between meetings.
