About Tamela
Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 22 years of experience, Tamela Stull-Drugan helps people in Florida manage stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and relationship and family concerns. She works with clients who are dealing with grief, parenting strains, anger, compassion fatigue, workplace issues, and life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and focus on practical steps people can use right away.
Tamela draws on client-centered methods to keep conversations focused on what matters to each person. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused strategies are also part of her work when they fit a client's goals.
In session she talks through real-world situations and helps people set small, measurable goals. She helps clients develop skills for managing cravings, reducing anxiety, and improving communication at work or at home. Plans often include short experiments between sessions so people can see what changes make a difference.
Tamela has long experience in substance abuse and mental health settings, so she understands both recovery and ongoing mental health challenges. She explains options in straightforward language and adapts the pace to each person's circumstances. The focus is on practical tools and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
To start she asks questions about current struggles, routines, and short-term goals. From there she and the client agree on steps to try and ways to measure progress. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches used for remote work
Client-centered therapy places the client's perspective at the center. The therapist listens without imposing a plan and follows the client's priorities to set goals and next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact; it helps with anxiety, low mood, and changing patterns that keep problems going. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple attention practices that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tamela will help clients decide which methods to use based on current challenges, goals, and what feels manageable. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
If you are considering sessions remotely, confirm the specific session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Therapists and clients often use the time to practice skills between sessions and to track small, measurable changes that matter in daily life.
