About Tamara
Tamara Gilarski is a Florida licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 35 years of professional experience. She has long worked with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, motivation struggles, and major life changes. Her background is practical and experience-based, built over decades in clinical settings across Florida.
Tamara focuses on helping people name what is driving their stress and anxiety. She talks through current problems and the patterns that keep repeating. She helps people notice where confidence has eroded and practices clearer ways of reacting and deciding.
Many clients come because family patterns from childhood still shape daily life. Tamara listens for how roles, expectations, and old rules influence choices now. She addresses family of origin issues alongside the more immediate problems people bring, such as relationship strain or trouble making decisions.
Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Sessions tend to include discussion, practical strategies, and small experiments between meetings. Tamara aims to help clients build skills they can use right away to manage stress and improve focus.
She invites people who are ready to look at long-standing patterns to try a structured process. The emphasis is on clear steps, gradual change, and learning new habits. To begin, prospective clients follow the site process to see online therapy options and schedule a first session.
How Tamara’s approaches translate to online sessions
Many clinicians who work with stress, anxiety and family of origin issues use evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building concrete skills. One common approach involves identifying and changing thinking and behavior patterns that increase anxiety; sessions teach ways to test and shift those patterns with practical exercises. Another approach emphasizes building emotion regulation and grounding skills to reduce the intensity of distressing reactions and improve daily functioning. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tamara will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs and goals. She uses client feedback and short trials of different strategies to determine what helps most. Confirm the current session formats before booking, since this profile does not specify them. Online sessions can help fit therapy into busy schedules by removing travel time and making it easier to have a brief check-in during a break. They also allow people to continue care when circumstances change and support steady progress through regular, scheduled meetings.Areas of expertise
