About Tammara
Tammara Rood is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in New York. She helps people facing stress and anxiety as well as those dealing with relationship strains, parenting challenges, and self-esteem concerns. Her approach is practical and direct, aimed at small changes that make daily life easier.
She draws on 14 years of clinical experience to guide conversations about motivation, confidence, and behavior. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps you can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Tammara works to make the room feel nonjudgmental so people can speak openly about hard topics. Her work addresses a broad range of concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, sleeping problems, anger, and career stress. She also supports people managing bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and co-occurring challenges.
Many clients bring worries about attachment, abandonment, codependency, or blended family dynamics. Tammara uses evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based strategies to help people notice patterns and try new responses. She also incorporates attachment-focused and client-centered ways of working to strengthen relationships and self-understanding.
Dialectical skills appear when emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are priorities. Sessions are offered in English and conducted remotely through a mix of video, phone, chat, and messaging formats. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling follows based on therapist availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, chronic stress, and moving through life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and trying practical experiments to change them; it often helps with anxiety, sleep, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people try new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past efforts, and what feels manageable, then try methods that fit those needs. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
Online formats offer flexible ways to do this work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skill practice and deeper connection. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a good option for focused check-ins. Live chat or text messaging support shorter updates, coping tools between sessions, and ongoing check-ins when people need brief support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while trying approaches that address anxiety, relationships, and everyday stress.
