Tamara Long

Tamara Long is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas. She brings nine years of social work experience to sessions and focuses on supporting people through major life changes such as divorce and separation.

She has spent much of her career in hospice and end-of-life settings. That work shaped her approach to grief, caregiver stress, and the emotional strain people face around aging and serious illness. She also helps people manage anxiety, depression, and compassion fatigue.

Tamara uses client-centered therapy to keep conversations grounded in each person’s priorities. Sessions aim to reflect the client’s goals and build practical steps forward. She pairs that with mindfulness therapy to help people manage stress in the moment and notice habits that keep them stuck.

In a typical meeting she listens closely, helps organize what feels most urgent, and supports small, doable changes. She explains options and works alongside each person to pick approaches that fit their life and values.

Her background in hospice care means she is familiar with caregiver issues, end-of-life planning conversations, and the wear of long-term caregiving. Those experiences inform how she supports people facing separation, loss, and life transitions.

Tamara invites people to begin by describing what they most need right now, then she helps shape a plan that matches those needs and rhythms.

How client-centered and mindfulness approaches work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and values, with the therapist listening closely and following the client’s lead to set goals. This approach helps people clarify what matters most during a separation or other life change and design steps that feel doable.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness practices that reduce reactivity and painful rumination. These techniques can help when anxiety, grief, or caregiver stress makes it hard to think clearly or rest.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods to use, based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning helps shape sessions so they feel relevant and practical.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since specific options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, allow shorter check-ins between in-person visits, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use practices learned in sessions in the moments they need them most.
