About Tama
Tama Stears is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Louisiana with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and low self-esteem. She also addresses workplace problems, communication issues, guilt and shame, forgiveness, life purpose, and mood concerns.
She focuses on practical self-understanding and building resilience. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, identifying unhelpful patterns, and practicing everyday skills to manage mood and anxiety. Communication work includes concrete tools for clearer conversations and setting boundaries at work or home.
Tama uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape the work. She and the client set goals together and try small changes between sessions. Progress is tracked with straightforward steps rather than long theoretical explanations.
Her approach is direct and person-centered. She helps people recognize patterns that keep them stuck and then teaches skills to shift those patterns. This includes approaches that address feelings of guilt, shame, and low self-worth with practical exercises.
People who want help sorting out workplace stress, relationship friction, or a sense of direction find the sessions focused on real-life coping. Tama will work with each person to build skills they can use outside of therapy. The emphasis is on useful tools and steady improvements over time.
BHow sessions work
Evidence-based approaches and online work
Two evidence-based techniques commonly used in her practice are behavioral activation and skills-focused cognitive work. Behavioral activation breaks down how activity levels affect mood and sets small, achievable tasks to increase positive engagement. Skills-focused cognitive work looks at unhelpful thoughts, teaches more balanced thinking, and practices responses to reduce anxiety and low mood.She also uses structured communication exercises to improve how people express needs and resolve repeated conflicts. These exercises teach phrasing, timing, and boundary-setting that can be practiced between sessions to change day-to-day interactions.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will help identify which methods fit the client’s goals and preferences, then adjust as needed. The plan is reviewed together so methods match practical needs, such as workplace stress, relationship strain, or improving self-esteem.
Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, and family responsibilities. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people attend from a place that is convenient for their schedule. Licensed professionals and therapists use these options to help clients maintain steady progress without disrupting everyday life.
