About Tamara

Tamara Gilarski is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 35 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, process trauma and abuse, build self-esteem, and cope with life changes. Tamara also supports clients who live with ADHD and related difficulties.

Her work focuses on practical conversations about day-to-day concerns. Sessions tend to cover how symptoms show up at home, work, and in relationships. She listens and helps clients name what is getting in the way of feeling more effective or calm.

Tamara uses straightforward strategies to help people increase motivation and confidence. She talks through coping skills and small behavior changes that can reduce stress. When trauma is present, she helps clients make sense of their experiences and plan gradual steps toward feeling more stable.

She draws on long experience across different settings to adapt to each person’s needs. That can mean short-term problem solving around a specific issue or longer work on patterns that have caused repeated problems. Tamara aims to keep sessions practical and focused on what someone can try between meetings.

Clients can expect a clear, steady approach that emphasizes simple, usable tools. She works in English and practices in Florida as an LCSW. If you want to explore whether this fits your situation, the next step is to use the site’s matching process and schedule an initial session.

BHow sessions work

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical steps people can use. One approach helps people learn concrete coping skills for stress and anxiety - teaching breathing, pacing, and short behavioral changes to ease daily pressure. Another approach concentrates on trauma-informed strategies that let people make sense of past events and take gradual steps to feel steadier and more in control. These methods are aimed at reducing symptoms and improving everyday functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. That collaborative process guides which techniques are emphasized and how sessions are structured to fit your needs.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy lives by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every meeting. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about which format would best fit your schedule and day-to-day routine.
