About Tamara

Tamara Blau helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or parenting strain. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and she draws on a calm, supportive style to help clients talk through immediate concerns and set realistic goals.

Background and approach

Tamara uses clear language and steady guidance so the work feels manageable. Tamara trained in social work and has practiced for about 10 years in Virginia and Ohio settings. Her background includes many years in public social services and recent work in schools with middle school youth.

That experience shaped her focus on mood, behavior, and parenting stress. In sessions she blends client-centered conversations with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find the drive to change, and solution-focused methods to zero in on next steps.

People reach out for help with grief, trauma, addictions, workplace struggles, panic attacks, and communication problems. Tamara works with each person to build skills for coping now and plans to handle future challenges.

How Tamara’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's priorities. The therapist follows the client's lead, helping them name goals and decide what matters most, which is useful for anxiety, parenting stress, and feelings of emptiness.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches concrete skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and change behavior, which helps with depression, panic attacks, and mood problems.

Mindfulness therapy trains simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and improve calm. Practicing short exercises can help with stress, anger, and ongoing worry.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then blend methods to suit those needs. This collaborative process helps make sure sessions feel relevant and doable.

Online formats let people fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper work. Phone sessions can be helpful when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins, quick skill reminders, or ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options make it easier to keep momentum and practice new skills in day-to-day life.
