About Tammy
Tammy Threatts is a licensed clinical social worker with 26 years of experience. She focuses on helping adults manage anxiety, stress, depression, relationship concerns, and the effects of trauma. Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at people who need clear tools and steady support.
She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness practices are offered to teach simple ways to reduce overwhelm and improve sleep and focus.
Background and approach
Narrative approaches help people tell their story differently so painful events feel less defining. Tammy has a long history working in Louisiana and draws on that regional experience to understand local stressors. She helps clients deal with parenting strain, career shifts, and relationship conflict without medical or judgmental language.
Her style is calm and direct, with a focus on small, doable steps between sessions. People who come for therapy can expect practical homework, paced discussions of painful memories, and attention to daily routines like sleep and self-care. She also supports those facing mood disorders, obsessive thoughts, trauma-related symptoms, and concerns about identity and discrimination.
Tammy explains concepts clearly and checks in about what is working. Therapy with her centers on goals the client names. Progress is measured in how life feels day to day, such as less frequent panic, better sleep, or fewer angry outbursts.
She aims to build skills clients can keep using after therapy ends.
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Tammy commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people spot thought patterns that feed anxiety or low mood and then practice new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can lessen overwhelm, improve sleep, and help with emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Tammy will discuss goals, listen to what has or hasn't helped before, and recommend starting points. If an approach is not fitting, she adjusts the plan so techniques match the client's needs and daily life.
Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or who live far from office-based care. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can provide brief check-ins or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, caregiving, or other commitments.
