Background and approach
Early work included three years with the Cabinet for Families and Children and many years in community mental health settings. Her background includes work in inpatient care, outpatient services, and correctional settings, along with experience supporting veterans, people experiencing homelessness, and those with complex medical needs. Tammy blends several approaches to match each person's needs.
She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the individual. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviors, and dialectical skills to stabilize intense emotions. In sessions she focuses on validation and practical steps.
Conversations often include coping skills, goal-setting, and ways to reduce anxiety and improve sleep or relationships. Tammy also supports people facing grief, substance use concerns, codependency, chronic illness, and life transitions. Her style is direct but warm, and she encourages collaboration.
Tammy aims to meet people where they are and help them take small, manageable steps forward. If someone wants straightforward help with anxiety, mood, or coping with life changes, she offers steady guidance and real-world tools.
How Tammy Uses Therapeutic Approaches Online
Client-centered therapy puts the person's goals first and guides how sessions move forward. In practice this means Tammy listens, follows what matters most, and shapes sessions around the client's priorities rather than a fixed script. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is often used for anxiety, mood issues, and sleep or eating concerns.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Tammy will collaborate with each person to decide whether client-centered work, CBT, or other methods fit best. That plan can change over time as needs and goals shift, and she encourages active feedback so therapy stays useful and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility across several formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins during a break. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for on-the-spot support, homework check-ins, and people who prefer writing to talking. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life while still working on anxiety, behavior change, and emotional skills.
