Background and approach
She has helped people manage stress and anxiety and has supported those facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and depression. Sessions focus on what the person wants to achieve. Tammy encourages people to name their priorities and then practices skills together to reach those goals.
She stresses strengths and uses straightforward techniques to relearn how to feel better. Her method blends several evidence-informed techniques. Tammy uses cognitive behavior therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns, motivational interviewing to build motivation for change, and EMDR to address distress tied to difficult memories.
People who prefer a direct, goal-focused style often find this approach useful. Tammy aims for practical tools, clear steps, and a supportive presence while clients work on everyday challenges and longer-standing concerns.
How Tammy Uses Evidence-Based Techniques Online
Therapy here often draws on cognitive behavior therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change them into more balanced ones. This approach is useful for everyday anxiety and stress because it teaches clear exercises and coping strategies to try between sessions.Motivational interviewing is another method Tammy uses to support change. It focuses on building a person’s own reasons for taking steps forward, which can help with shifting habits or committing to new goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tammy will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try techniques that fit. She treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts methods based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make participation more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and teaching exercises. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between sessions or when typing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
