Tamara Gilarski

Tamara Gilarski is a licensed clinical social worker with 35 years of experience practicing in Florida. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, or big life changes. Tamara aims to make the first step into therapy easier and acknowledges the courage it takes to begin.

She focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what matters to them. Sessions center on listening carefully, naming the most pressing problems, and trying practical ways to manage day-to-day stress. Conversation is direct and grounded in concrete steps people can use between meetings.

Over a long career Tamara has supported people around issues linked to trauma, motivation, and coping skills. She also offers help related to ADHD, family of origin struggles, abandonment, and concerns that often come up during separation and divorce. Her background includes work across a wide range of life challenges and behavior concerns.

Tamara uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques adapted to each person’s needs. She works with clients to set goals and test small changes that build confidence and reduce overwhelm. Progress is tracked in simple, practical ways so people can see what’s working.

Her practice is located in Florida and sessions are conducted in English. People who want to begin are invited to use the site Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear, practical steps people can try between sessions. One common approach emphasizes building coping skills and stress management routines to reduce anxiety and increase daily functioning. This helps when worries interrupt work, sleep, or family life by teaching specific breathing, pacing, and planning strategies.

Another approach used in evidence-based work concentrates on processing trauma in measured ways that reduce symptoms over time. That work typically breaks large experiences into smaller, manageable pieces and teaches grounding and emotion regulation skills to use when feelings become intense.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods fit their needs and preferences.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week, fewer travel needs, and the ability to continue work when life becomes unpredictable.
