Tameka Dean, LPC

Tameka Dean is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 17 years of experience in the mental health field. She has provided care across a range of settings including inpatient, residential, partial care, outpatient, and in-home services, which has shaped a flexible and practical approach to supporting clients. Her clinical work most often focuses on depression, anxiety, family conflict, self-love, and issues affecting LGBTQ clients.

Dean believes that people already possess many of the resources they need to move toward fuller, more satisfying lives, but that unhealed wounds and life stressors can slow that process. Her role is to guide, educate, support, and empower clients as they identify goals and build skills. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Client-Centered Therapy to tailor care to each person’s needs. LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, a credential that authorizes her to provide professional counseling services in Georgia.

She values collaborative therapeutic alliances grounded in clear communication and mutual respect, and she can also adopt a coaching-style role for clients who want goal-oriented planning rather than traditional therapy. Tameka offers sessions by phone or video, and she invites potential clients who feel she may be a good fit to reach out and begin exploring their challenges together.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more balanced thoughts and practical behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and stress-related problems and focuses on skills that can be practiced between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches techniques for paying attention to the present moment with openness and nonjudgment. These practices can reduce reactivity to difficult emotions, support self-regulation, and complement work on self-love, shame, and grief.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clients' strengths and short-term goals to create a clear roadmap for change. This approach suits those seeking pragmatic steps toward improved relationships, communication, or life purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative stance helps ensure sessions remain relevant and focused on measurable progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow clients to choose the format that best fits their schedule and comfort level while maintaining continuity of care across life changes and busy routines.
