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 in Florida. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, anger, and coping with life changes. Her focus includes workplace issues, communication and control problems, and feelings of isolation.
She uses clear, direct conversation to help people identify what is getting in the way of what they want. Sessions look at practical steps to manage strong feelings and reduce repeated conflict. She works with clients on coping skills for everyday pressures and on patterns that keep problems cycling.
Tamela draws on Client-Centered Therapy to shape sessions around the person in front of her. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and Mindfulness techniques to build awareness of physical and emotional reactions. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set short-term goals and track progress.
Her background includes long-term work in substance abuse settings alongside general mental health practice. That experience informs a straightforward approach to recovery, relapse prevention, and managing triggers. Many clients come for help with anger that affects work or close relationships.
In sessions she and the client plan steps that fit day-to-day life. That may include new ways to respond in tense moments, short practices to reduce reactivity, or communication strategies to lower recurring conflict. The emphasis is on steady change rather than quick fixes.
How Tamela uses practical approaches online
Tamela works with Client-Centered Therapy to shape sessions around each person's concerns and priorities. That approach focuses on listening and adapting conversation to what the client brings, which helps when someone needs to talk through anger and relationship friction.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking that trigger strong reactions. CBT offers clear exercises and behavioral experiments that fit into daily life, useful for managing workplace frustration or repeated arguments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean starting with short skill-building tasks and moving toward longer problem-solving conversations as progress is made.
