About Tammy
Dr. Tammy Kirschner greets new clients with a calm, straightforward style. She has worked as a psychologist since 1992 and brings three decades of experience to sessions.
People often come to her feeling anxious, depressed, stuck, or overwhelmed, and she focuses on helping them sort those feelings and decide what to do next. She offers a mix of supportive listening and active problem-solving. Sessions include practical strategies drawn from cognitive and behavioral approaches.
Background and approach
She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to help people set goals and make changes. Her background includes time in college counseling centers, outpatient clinics for anxiety and phobias, eating disorder groups, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, and independent practice. That variety shaped a flexible approach she adapts to each person.
She has also done career consulting work, helping with resumes and job search skills. In therapy she aims to be warm and nonjudgmental while remaining proactive. She describes the work as collaborative - she and the client figure out priorities together.
She often helps people organize their thoughts, reduce overwhelm, and develop coping tools that can be used long term. Sessions are offered in English and provided from Florida. Her credential is FL Psychologist PY12319, which indicates licensure in the state.
She uses talk, practical exercises, and goal-focused planning to help people manage stress, anxiety, and life transitions.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Dr. Tammy Kirschner commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques that help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of thinking and behaving. This approach is practical and often helps with anxiety, stress, and mood challenges. She also draws on behavioral strategies that focus on changing daily habits and routines to reduce symptoms and build coping skills.Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods are also part of her toolkit. Motivational interviewing helps people clarify what matters most to them and find motivation for change. Solution-focused work concentrates on small, achievable steps so progress can start quickly. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process - the therapist and client will decide together which strategies fit the client's goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging is useful for ongoing support between sessions. These options help clients fit therapy around work, caregiving, and other commitments while maintaining consistent therapeutic work.
