About Tamela
Tamela Stull-Drugan is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 22 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction issues, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting strain, and anger. Her practical aim is to help people manage everyday pressure and make changes that fit their lives.
She uses straightforward conversations to clarify what is getting in the way and to map small, doable steps forward. Tamela draws on client-centered methods so the client’s goals guide the work. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot patterns of thought and behavior that feed frustration and resentment.
Mindfulness techniques are part of the mix when slowing down reactions matters. Solution-focused work is used for short-term planning and setting clear next steps. Together these approaches are used to tackle things like workplace stress, communication problems, control issues, and burnout from compassion fatigue.
Tamela’s background is in substance abuse and mental health, so she often blends attention to sobriety and relapse prevention with broader coping skills. She emphasizes practical strategies for managing anger and strong emotions rather than abstract theory.
People who come to her can expect a direct style and concrete tools to try between sessions. The goal is clearer thinking, fewer snap reactions, and better ways to handle conflict and pressure as they arise.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s priorities and goals. Online sessions using this approach start with listening closely and shaping goals together so work stays relevant to daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep anger and anxiety active. In online sessions CBT tools include tracking patterns, testing small behavior changes, and using short exercises between meetings to shift reactions.
Mindfulness practice helps slow down automatic reactions and notice rising anger earlier. Brief breathing or grounding exercises are taught and practiced during sessions to give immediate tools for diffusing strong feelings.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will help decide which approaches fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce commute time so therapy fits everyday life. Licensed professionals can use these formats to focus on practical skills for anger, stress, and coping without changing the content of the therapeutic work.
