About Tamara
Tamara Coleman is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Virginia who focuses on supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, and life transitions.
Background and approach
She also works with individuals dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, anger, career shifts, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and LGBT-related concerns, along with additional focuses such as intellectual disability and postpartum depression. With three years of practice, she emphasizes practical coping skills alongside emotional understanding.
Her approach centers on creating a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak openly about thoughts and feelings. Tamara blends evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with client-centered and emotionally-focused elements to tailor support to each person’s needs.
She encourages collaboration so goals and strategies reflect the client’s priorities and strengths. Clients can expect a supportive guide who values courage and steady progress.
Tamara helps people identify patterns that maintain distress and practices new ways of responding, aiming to increase resilience, clarity, and everyday functioning while respecting each person’s pace and preferences.
Combining practical methods and emotional work online
Tamara uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice concrete strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, offering a respectful, empathetic presence that helps people explore feelings and priorities at their own pace. These approaches complement each other by pairing skills-based change with supportive reflection.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to clarify goals and to try methods that fit their needs and preferences, adjusting techniques over time when something isn’t working as hoped. This partnership helps tailor care rather than imposing a single model.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats can make therapy more accessible for people juggling work, family, or mobility limits, and they allow continuation of care when in-person meetings are not possible. Licensed professionals can use these options to maintain steady progress and adapt session style to what helps the client most.
