Tamra Zeller

Tamra Zeller is a licensed clinical mental health counselor with 21 years of experience helping people who feel stuck in their lives and relationships. She focuses on relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, addiction, anxiety, mood concerns, and identity-related stressors. Tamra encourages questions so potential clients can see whether she might be a good fit.

Her approach starts with understanding strengths and practical goals. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at the thoughts and beliefs that keep problems active. She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people make values-based choices when hard emotions show up.

Tamra has spent much of her career working with sex offenders, their families, and victims, and she has developed experience addressing domestic violence and toxic emotional abuse. She notes that sex offender work requires completion of legally recognized programs before specialized therapy can proceed.

Sessions aim to identify clear, realistic steps clients can try between meetings. Tamra emphasizes trust and respect in the relationship and checks progress against the goals clients bring. Her style is direct but supportive, focused on helping people feel lighter and more able to manage daily life.

Outside of clinical work she gardens, cooks with homegrown produce, and spends time outdoors skiing, camping, hiking, and kayaking. She also enjoys time with her rescue dog, Blue, and brings that grounded, practical energy into her work with clients.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings and then take steps that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and getting unstuck from avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, mood, and stress-related problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions in relationships and helps people name and shift interaction patterns that cause distress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tamra will work with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adapts techniques as therapy progresses and checks in about what is working and what needs to change.

If you are thinking about online sessions, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Many people choose online therapy because it can fit more easily into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can support skills practice, values-based planning, and focused problem-solving in the same way in-person sessions do, while making it simpler to attend appointments around daily life.
