Her background includes work with people dealing with trauma, grief, addiction, bipolar disorder, and first responder or veteran-related concerns.
Background and approach
Tammy writes plainly and listens closely to what matters to each person. In sessions she focuses on practical conversation and goal-setting. She blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral ideas to spot patterns and try different coping strategies.
She also draws on psychodynamic thinking to look at long-standing patterns, and uses solution-focused techniques to build on what already works. Her style is warm and direct. She aims to create a space to breathe, reflect, and practice new responses to stress.
She invites people to describe their own idea of wellbeing and then helps define steps to get there. People who reach out can expect steady guidance and clear options rather than technical jargon. Tammy believes change is often gradual and that small, consistent actions add up.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
How Tammy’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy puts the person and their goals at the center of sessions. It involves open listening, reflecting what matters to the client, and shaping the work around their priorities. This approach helps when someone needs steady support and a space to sort feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. CBT is useful for people who want concrete strategies to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. Plans can be adjusted over time based on what feels helpful and what produces progress.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people see facial cues and have full conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can work well for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit support into busy days or keep a conversation going between sessions. These options help people keep consistent care while managing work, family, and other responsibilities.
