Background and approach
Her style is supportive and practical, guiding people toward clearer choices and steady progress. Sessions commonly include talk that helps a person sort through emotions and patterns.

She focuses on realistic steps people can try between sessions. Tammy holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential, licensed in Missouri and Idaho, and brings 20 years of professional experience to her work.

She encourages clients to take small, achievable actions and to notice what changes over time. Tammy aims to create a calm, straightforward space where people can practice new ways of coping and relating to themselves and others.
Approaches you can try in online sessions
Many people find benefit from evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Cognitive-style approaches help identify and reframe anxious or self-critical thinking so people can test new ways of thinking and reduce worry and avoidance.Behavior-focused strategies add practical experiments and skill practice. These methods support gradual exposure to feared situations, build healthier routines, and strengthen skills for managing urges or cravings in addictions and impulsive behavior.
Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels doable, then try techniques side by side to see what helps most. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs shift.
Online sessions can be done by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls allow full conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins, written exercises, or daily tracking. These options make it easier to get consistent support despite a busy schedule or mobility limits.
