She brings a hopeful attitude and a down-to-earth style to sessions. Tammy concentrates on finding small, practical steps that help people feel steadier and more in control. She makes space for frank talk and a little humor while working toward real change.

In early meetings Tammy uses a client-centered approach to build trust and learn what matters most to each person. From there she may introduce cognitive behavioral techniques to tackle patterns of thinking that feed anxiety or depression. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy tools when emotional regulation or strong reactions are present.

Typical sessions last about 45 minutes and often begin with weekly meetings to build momentum. Homework and short skills practice are common, so progress continues between sessions. Tammy may offer brief extra check-ins in the first month to help establish a stable foundation for therapy.

She has twenty-five years of clinical experience and has worked with concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes. Tammy also addresses career stress, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and a wide range of attachment and communication problems.

Her work aims to help people notice what’s working, identify what’s causing distress, and take manageable steps toward improvement. The tone in sessions is collaborative and practical, focused on helping people live more comfortably day to day.

How Tammy’s Approaches Work Online

Tammy often uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in her practice. Client-centered work means the conversation starts with what matters to the person, helping them feel heard and seen so they can name goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing small changes to reduce anxiety or depression.

She also integrates dialectical behavior therapy skills when strong emotions or impulsive reactions get in the way of daily life. DBT tools include grounding, emotion regulation, and interpersonal techniques that help people manage intense moments and improve communication.

Finding the right way to work together is part of the process. Tammy will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and then recommend approaches that fit. This is a collaborative decision and can change over time as progress is made.

Confirm the session formats available before booking so expectations match the offered options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when extra support is useful. It can also let people practice skills between sessions and bring real-life situations into the conversation for immediate problem solving.
