About Tamra

Tamra Zeller is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Utah with 21 years of experience. She works with relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, parenting stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, mood disorders, ADHD, and related struggles including abandonment and attachment issues.

She uses practical, problem-focused work to help people who feel stuck. Tamra draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts, feelings, and beliefs shape behavior. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take steps toward those values.

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

In sessions she aims to identify strengths and shape a plan that keeps progress on track. She encourages questions so people can decide whether her style fits their needs. Her approach emphasizes clear goals and checking how therapy is working in everyday life.

Outside of practice she grows an organic garden, cooks with harvested food, and spends time outdoors skiing, camping, hiking, and kayaking. She also enjoys hiking and playing with her rescue dog, Blue.

Approach-focused work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for guilt that keeps someone from moving forward and for clarifying what matters in relationships.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns that maintain shame or anxiety and offers practical experiments to test new ways of responding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tamra will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then try methods that fit those needs. That collaboration guides which techniques are used and how sessions proceed.

Confirm the current session options before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not possible. They also permit choosing whether to be on camera, which can help with focus or reduce bandwidth needs depending on the person's circumstances.
