About Tamera
Tamera "Tami" VanderLind is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 18 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Tami also addresses shame and guilt as part of her practice.
She approaches sessions as a collaborative effort. She treats the person as the expert on their life and helps them notice strengths that can be used to handle hard situations. Conversations focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than technical jargon.
Tami has worked with people recovering from narcissistic abuse and with those coping after losses. She helps people who struggle with panic, social anxiety, process addictions, and issues tied to control or communication. She also supports people dealing with divorce, money stress, and seasonal mood shifts.
In session she listens for patterns that keep problems repeating. Then she offers straightforward techniques to try between meetings. Sessions include skills for handling intense feelings and for improving day-to-day interactions.
Clients can expect direct talk about what feels hard and what has helped before. Tami’s method is steady and practical, aimed at helping people manage symptoms and make clearer choices about relationships and behavior.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Many evidence-based techniques teach concrete skills you can use between sessions. Cognitive-focused methods look at unhelpful thoughts and offer ways to test and change them, which helps with anxiety, panic, and shame-related thinking. Trauma-informed methods focus on reducing intense reactions and building small coping skills to manage memories or triggers. Finding the right approach is often part of the first few meetings. The therapist will work collaboratively with the client to try methods that fit the client’s goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust those methods if something isn’t working. The biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time for sessions. Licensed professionals can use online meetings to teach skills, practice new ways of relating, and track progress across weeks without claiming a guaranteed result.Areas of expertise
