Tamika Burrough , LPC

Tamika Burrough is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with 16 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. As an LPC - a licensed mental health professional trained to assess and treat emotional and behavioral concerns - she works with issues such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, and suicidal ideation. Her practice also includes work with grief, parenting, career concerns, compassion fatigue, and complex family situations including adoption and foster care and blended family issues.

Her counseling style is open and centered on the individual; she operates from the belief that the therapeutic process begins with the person and their goals. Tamika integrates approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to tailor care to each client's needs, and she combines therapeutic work with coaching and practical skills to help clients develop stronger coping and clearer direction. She emphasizes collaboration and empowerment rather than prescribing one-size-fits-all solutions.

Seeking help requires courage, and Tamika aims to offer steady professional support for those ready to make a change. She accepts new clients, including international clients, and provides services in English.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Tamika commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and the behaviors that follow - it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy, a skills-based approach that teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, often helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges. In addition, Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to explore and improve emotional bonds in relationships by helping people recognize and express core feelings and needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tamika works collaboratively with each person to assess goals, preferences, and circumstances, and she adapts techniques to fit what will be most helpful rather than imposing a single method.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and location. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, and other responsibilities, and allow licensed professionals to provide structured therapy and practical coaching across distances.
