Background and approach
Tammi uses straightforward strategies so people can see progress between sessions. Tammi blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness techniques. She helps people identify unhelpful thoughts, try small changes, and build coping habits that fit their routine.
She also draws on existential and Jungian perspectives when exploring meaning, values, and deeper patterns that affect mood and relationships. Sessions focus on practical solutions and personal goals. Tammi aims to provide information, tools, and questions that empower people to take the next step.
She works collaboratively, tailoring methods to each person’s needs and preferences. Based in Louisiana, Tammi offers support for a range of concerns including ADHD, compassion fatigue, eating struggles, intimacy-related issues, career questions, and LGBT matters. Her style is compassionate, direct, and rooted in real-world problem solving.
Approach and access: online therapy with practical tools
Tammi often uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person’s unique needs. That means sessions begin with listening and understanding what matters most to the client, and then shaping goals and steps together. Cognitive behavioral therapy is another frequent component - it looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tammi collaborates with each person to decide which ideas and techniques fit best for their goals and daily life. She will adjust methods over time based on what is helpful and what the person wants to try next.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people share thoughts between sessions or fit support into a busy day. These options help people access consistent care while balancing school, work, caregiving, or travel.
