How Tammy Uses Practical Therapies Online
Tammy often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. This approach is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with life changes because it breaks big problems into clear steps.She also uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify what matters to them and find the motivation to make changes. That method is especially helpful for substance use, lifestyle shifts, or when someone feels stuck and unsure how to move forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tammy collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. She adjusts plans as therapy progresses so methods feel useful and realistic for day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is good when visual connection matters, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is helpful for quick check-ins or for people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to build continuity, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and keep momentum between meetings.
