Tamika Blaisdell , LCSW

Tamika Blaisdell, LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), brings 15 years of experience helping people navigate spiritual affliction and intense life challenges. She frames her work around both practical symptom relief and deeper existential concerns, addressing experiences described as spiritual warfare as well as everyday struggles with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, anger, and major life transitions.

Her professional background spans psychiatric facilities, high schools, prisons, and a private practice, giving her a broad perspective on how different environments shape coping and recovery. That variety of settings informs a flexible approach to therapy that considers behavioral, relational, and spiritual dimensions of distress while remaining grounded in evidence-informed methods.

Tamika integrates a range of clinical tools, including client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, the Gottman Method for relationship work, and hypnotherapy, tailoring these to each person’s needs. Based in Montana, she provides services in English and works with both local and international clients who seek support for abandonment and attachment issues, family and blended family concerns, first responder challenges, isolation and loneliness, and related areas.

Approaches for online spiritual and trauma-focused therapy

Tamika uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person's perspective guides the work; this approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration to help individuals explore values and goals and is useful for people coping with life changes, isolation, and relationship concerns.

She also employs cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety and stress; CBT is often applied to trauma-related patterns, anger management, and everyday coping strategies. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is another tool in her toolkit that teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - skills that can support people struggling with intense emotions, attachment issues, and relationship conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tamika works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into busy or geographically distant lives and to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible.
