About Tammie
Tammie Makely is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 13 years of experience helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma or the pain of loss. She aims to make first steps feel manageable and to help people feel heard when they are overwhelmed. She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters most now.
Tammie asks questions to understand daily patterns and the problems that get in the way of feeling better.
Background and approach
She helps clients name emotions, notice unhelpful thoughts, and try new ways of responding to stress. Her work often centers on relationships and how they affect mood and anxiety. She talks with clients about attachment and abandonment concerns when these issues come up.
She also addresses grief, depression, and the fallout from abuse or trauma in ways that move people toward more stability. Tammie pays attention to practical life pressures too, such as caregiver stress, money worries, and problems with communication or control. She supports people who struggle with guilt, shame, impulsivity, isolation, body image, or questions about life purpose.
Sessions are meant to be a calm space to try things differently rather than a test. Tammie encourages small, doable changes and checks in about what is working. Her California licensure as an LMFT guides her practice and clinical decisions.
Evidence-based ways to tackle anxiety online
Many clients benefit from straightforward, evidence-based techniques that help reduce anxiety and improve mood. One common approach focuses on noticing thoughts and testing whether they are accurate; this helps people reduce worry and make clearer choices in daily life. Another approach emphasizes improving relationships and attachment patterns by exploring how past experiences affect current trust and communication, which can ease loneliness and relationship stress.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to see which techniques match their needs and goals. That may mean trying a few options and adjusting the plan based on what helps most over time.
Online therapy makes those options more flexible. Video calls let people speak face to face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing support between calls and can be useful for brief check-ins, homework, or prompts to practice new coping skills. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into real life while working with a licensed professional.
