Tamara Williams-Reding, LPC

Tamara Williams-Reding is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 30 years of clinical experience helping people navigate difficult transitions, manage symptoms, and strengthen relationships. Over a long and varied career she has worked with clients across the lifespan and with a wide range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, addiction, parenting challenges, and LGBTQ matters. She approaches counseling with a clear conviction that change is possible and that people can develop the skills to cope and thrive when life shifts unexpectedly.

Tamara blends several evidence-based methods to tailor treatment to each person she meets. Her training includes client-centered approaches that prioritize the therapeutic relationship, family systems work that examines patterns within relationships, cognitive behavioral strategies that focus on thoughts and behaviors, trauma-focused care, and motivational interviewing to support personal change. At the heart of her practice is a belief that feeling heard and validated supports better outcomes, so she emphasizes an empathic, collaborative connection with each client.

She enjoys helping people explore goals, build coping resources, and create meaningful shifts in their lives. Tamara welcomes international clients and offers a compassionate, individualized approach designed to meet each person where they are and help them move forward.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Tamara commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems work, and motivational interviewing in her online practice. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Family systems work examines patterns in relationships and communication to improve interactions and resolve recurring conflicts. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative style that supports people in finding their own reasons and strengths for making change, useful for addictions and ambivalence about life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Tamara works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods over time as goals evolve and as clients build new skills.

Online therapy with Tamara is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and life circumstances. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations and to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not feasible.
