About Tamara
Tamara York is a licensed social worker (LSCSW) in Kansas with 30 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and mood challenges. Tamara also supports those coping with parenting concerns, attention and focus difficulties, addictions, and relationship or family problems.
She has worked closely with schools and understands how school-related issues affect parents and caregivers. Tamara aims to make sessions a place where people can say what they think and feel without judgment.
Background and approach
She keeps language straightforward and practical so parents can read and act on it quickly. In sessions she listens first and asks questions to clarify what matters most. Then she and the client set small, realistic goals and try approaches that fit day-to-day life.
Progress is tracked in simple ways so people can see what helps. Tamara draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, grief, compulsive behaviors, panic, and caregiving stress. She pays attention to patterns like impulsivity, codependency, and communication problems that make daily life harder.
People who reach out can expect calm, steady support and clear suggestions to try between meetings. Tamara works with adults who want practical help managing emotions, improving focus, and navigating family or school-related stress.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Tamara uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on what helps in everyday life. One approach emphasizes practical problem solving and skill building to manage strong emotions like anger and panic. Clients learn strategies to notice triggers, pause before reacting, and try new behaviors that reduce conflict and distress. Another approach targets attention and focus issues often seen with ADHD by teaching routines, organizational skills, and short practice exercises to improve concentration and memory.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tamara will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they choose methods to try and adjust them over time based on what fits the person’s life and produces meaningful changes.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help make therapy more accessible around school schedules, work hours, and caregiving duties.
