About Tamela
Tamela Stull-Drugan is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 22 years of experience in substance abuse and mental health work. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, work toward sobriety, and handle relationship and everyday life pressures. Her plain, direct approach suits someone who wants clear steps and practical strategies.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify what is getting in the way of change. Sessions look at thoughts, habits, and routines that maintain problems. Then she and the client try different ways of responding and coping until something fits the person’s life.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered listening, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused techniques. That mix lets her offer practical skills, real-time problem solving, and space to reflect. She uses mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity and CBT-style tasks to test unhelpful beliefs.
Tamela has spent much of her career in treatment for substance use and related mental health concerns. That background shapes how she helps people build sober routines and manage triggers. She also supports those facing grief, trauma, parenting strain, workplace stress, and mood issues.
Sessions are offered in English and are based in Florida. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Tamela draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT tasks might include short experiments, thought records, or behavioral changes to see what helps with anxiety, mood, or addictive urges. Client-Centered Therapy provides active listening and reflection so clients can clarify their priorities and feel heard while deciding next steps.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. She works with clients to match methods to their goals, preferences, and everyday demands. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed rather than committing to a single method from the start.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, keep brief check-ins between in-person visits, or practice skills in real-life situations. It also allows sessions without travel time and can make regular meetings more practical for people juggling work and family responsibilities.
