About Tamika
Tamika Blaisdell is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years helping people through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, anger, and major life changes. She brings practical care and steady listening to sessions. Tamika works in Montana and offers services in English.
Her background includes work in psychiatric facilities, high schools, prisons, and a independent practice. That range gives her experience with intense emotional crises and everyday struggles alike. She uses that experience to keep sessions focused and useful.
Background and approach
Tamika combines several approaches to fit each person. She draws on the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are central. She also uses client-centered skills to keep conversation grounded in each person's concerns.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps when thoughts and behaviors are getting in the way. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete tools for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. She may also use hypnotherapy when someone is open to that option.
People come for many reasons, including abandonment, attachment struggles, parenting and blended family stress, codependency, communication breakdowns, dissociation, divorce, first responder stress, guilt and shame, or loneliness. Tamika aims to make the work clear, step-by-step, so clients can try changes between sessions. Her style is direct but warm.
Sessions focus on what is happening now and on practical skills to manage it. She helps people move from feeling stuck to having a plan.

Online support
How Tamika’s approaches translate to online therapy
Tamika uses the Gottman Method to look at relationship patterns and communication skills, helping people notice interaction cycles and try small changes. Client-Centered Therapy is about listening closely and following the person's goals, so the work focuses on what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises that can be practiced between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress happens.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different places. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or a quicker check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short updates, skill practice, or moments of support between scheduled sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
