About Tamika

Tamika M. Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of experience based in Texas. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, relationship struggles, parenting strain, trauma, and related concerns. Tamika works in a direct, person-centered way and focuses on practical steps that people can use in daily life.

Her approach centers on building a steady, respectful relationship. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to explore strengths and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot patterns of thinking that increase upset and to test doable changes. Emotionally-Focused ideas help identify and name feelings that get in the way of connection and calm.

Tamika also draws on mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to help people notice their reactions and find small, sustainable shifts. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where patience, clear goals, and consistent effort matter more than dramatic change overnight. Sessions will include talking, practical exercises, and tools to use between meetings.

Her work includes a wide range of life problems such as ADHD, addictions, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and post-traumatic stress. She also lists focus areas like blended family issues, multicultural concerns, and hospice and end-of-life counseling. Tamika emphasizes steady progress, celebrating small steps, and learning from setbacks as part of getting better control over difficult emotions like anger.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Tamika often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, identifying your priorities, and using your strengths to guide change. This approach helps when someone needs a steady conversation about what matters most and how to take practical next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT works well for anger, anxiety, low mood, and sleep issues because it gives clear tools to try between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps name and track emotional responses so people can change how they relate to others and to their own feelings.

Choosing the best approach is a team effort. Tamika will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. The first few meetings are often used to identify what feels useful and what needs a different tactic.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Therapists can also recommend mindfulness exercises, CBT worksheets, and brief behavioral experiments that fit into everyday life.
