About Tamela
Tamela Stull-Drugan is a licensed counselor practicing in Florida with more than 22 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, anger, and the everyday pressures that can feel overwhelming. Tamela approaches each person with care and respect, and she focuses on practical steps people can use in daily life.
She draws on client-centered work to make sure conversations match what matters most to the individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are used to spot patterns of thinking and to try small behavior changes that reduce distress.
Background and approach
Mindfulness techniques and solution-focused strategies are added when they fit the person's goals and pace. Tamela has a long history in substance abuse and mental health settings, and she uses that background to help people build routines and skills for sober living and emotional balance. She tailors sessions to a person's situation instead of using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Sessions are collaborative and practical, with tools you can try between meetings. People who want straightforward guidance about work stress, relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures, or career choices will find a calm, steady presence. Tamela also helps with control issues, communication problems, and rebuilding self-esteem.
She frames change as a step-by-step process and supports clients through each stage. Taking the first step can feel hard. Tamela invites people to bring their concerns, talk through priorities, and work toward clearer choices and healthier habits.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Tamela combines client-centered methods and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so conversations match what matters most to the person and build trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and practice small behavior changes to ease symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or difficulty managing anger.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Together you can adjust the focus and techniques over time until something feels useful and workable.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper work, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you need a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, ongoing support between meetings, and for people who prefer writing to talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or other obligations without traveling.
