About Tamara

Tamara York is a Kansas-licensed social worker (LSCSW) with three decades of professional experience. She has helped people manage stress and anxiety, navigate parenting challenges, and address concentration and focus concerns often associated with ADHD.

Background and approach

Tamara’s background includes substantial collaboration with school systems, giving her practical insight into educational concerns that affect family life and child functioning. Her practice centers on creating a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings safely.

Tamara aims to partner with each person to identify goals and build coping strategies that fit their daily life. She emphasizes gradual progress and supports clients through life transitions, grief, relationship strains, and issues such as addiction, trauma, and low self-esteem.

Tamara is available to work with English-speaking clients in Kansas and accepts international clients for online sessions.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Access



Many of Tamara's sessions draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people manage emotions and build practical skills. One commonly used approach focuses on developing coping strategies and problem-solving skills to reduce stress and anxiety, which can help clients gain more control over daily challenges. Another frequently applied method targets attention and organizational skills, offering structured tools and routines that can improve concentration and task completion for those experiencing focus difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tamara collaborates with each client to identify which methods align with their needs and goals. She tailors interventions over time, checking in about progress and preferences so the plan evolves in partnership rather than being prescribed all at once.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for meeting across distances. Tamara provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels, making it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, school, or caregiving responsibilities. These options aim to improve accessibility and allow clients to engage in therapy in ways that fit their daily lives.
