About
As one who has experienced mental health and substance abuse issues, I have an authentic understanding of the impact that improving mental health can provide the tools necessary for recovery.
I'm Tamara Miller, a licensed clinical social worker in Texas and Utah with a master's degree in social work focused on addiction and recovery. I work with individuals experiencing co-occurring substance use and mental health challenges, helping them navigate recovery, maintain sobriety, and build healthier, more stable lives. My approach is compassionate, client-centered, and grounded in supporting lasting change.
I use evidence-based approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), along with strategies that promote positive mindset shifts, helping clients build healthier thought patterns, develop coping skills, and support meaningful growth and healing.
You don't have to navigate this alone. I'm here to support you with care, understanding, and respect every step of the way. If you're ready to move toward a healthier, more balanced life, I invite you to reach out and schedule an appointment when you feel ready.

I believe real change begins when you feel truly seen and supported, so I meet you with empathy, honesty, and practical tools to help you move forward.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 8 years of experience in the mental health field, including 4 years as an LPC Associate and 4 years as a fully licensed clinician. My background includes work in schools, inpatient and outpatient settings, and telehealth, which has given me the opportunity to support individuals and families through a wide range of challenges. I believe real change begins when you feel truly seen and supported, so I meet you with empathy, honesty, and practical tools to help you move forward.
I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Many clients come to counseling feeling overstimulated, or unsure how to cope—looking for practical tools, clarity, and a sense of control. Others may be working through past trauma or patterns impacting their daily lives.
Whether you're seeking relief from immediate stressors or looking for deeper understanding and long-term growth, I strive to create a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.
DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Lubbock, TX is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.
