About Tamu
Tamu Harris is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage strong emotions and life strain. She focuses on practical steps people can use to reduce stress, handle anger, and steady mood. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at everyday problems rather than labels or tests.
She blends straightforward talk with problem-solving tools. Sessions include checking what’s most urgent, trying short experiments between visits, and building coping habits that fit a person’s routine.
Background and approach
Tamu emphasizes strengths people already have and shows how to use them when life feels overwhelming. With 21 years of experience, she has worked with a wide range of concerns. These include anxiety, depression, addiction, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related issues, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
She also supports people facing blended family challenges, caregiver strain, codependency, and recovery from domestic violence or substance problems. Tamu uses patient-focused methods such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide sessions. That means talking through problems, testing small changes, and learning skills to shift thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.
She holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW, in California. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. The goal is useful, doable change over time.

Approach and online care that fit your life
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s needs and perspective first. It focuses on listening, empathy, and helping clients find their own answers to problems such as low self-esteem or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety, depression, and anger.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes. It helps people identify concrete goals and the next steps that move them toward better functioning and less distress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Plans are adjusted as progress and circumstances change.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can fit short check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reminders or brief reflections. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and practical for everyday life.
