About Tamra
Tamra Priestley is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in Utah. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and the aftereffects of trauma. Her work also covers stress, self-esteem, grief, addiction, parenting concerns, and life transitions.
Tamra writes practical exercises to try between sessions and places value on small, steady changes that add up over time. She combines life coaching with clinical counseling to strengthen how people relate to themselves first, then to others.
Background and approach
Tamra draws on methods from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior strategies, and emotionally focused ideas to shape sessions around each person's needs. She aims for clear skills people can use days and weeks after a meeting. Tamra has eight years of clinical experience.
Her background includes time in three personal practices, work providing services for company employees, and support for first responders and law enforcement staff. She has also worked with older adults facing end-of-life concerns. These varied settings inform a practical, down-to-earth style.
Personal life experience factors into her approach. Tamra mentions experiences with single parenting, adoption, divorce, and caregiving that influence how she connects with clients. She prefers assigning homework when it will help someone practice new skills.
Clients can expect a conversational, goal-minded process that balances emotional work with concrete steps. Tamra seeks to help people find more meaning, rebuild confidence, and move toward a calmer, more productive life.

Online support
Approaches that guide online counseling
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and building a trusting therapeutic relationship. It helps people feel heard and encourages exploration of personal values and goals in a gentle, paced way.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clear communication. These tools can help when emotions become overwhelming or when relationships feel unstable.
Tamra treats finding the right approach as a shared task. She will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That collaboration shapes what happens in session and what homework looks like.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make participation practical. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, and text or chat formats make brief check-ins and written reflections easier to manage. These options aim to increase flexibility and help people keep therapy in their routine.
