About Tammy
Tammy starts early sessions with a person-centered approach to learn what is working and what is causing distress. From there she may use cognitive behavioral techniques to address depression and anxiety or to change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotion regulation and coping strategies are needed. Her work can include brief solution-focused planning and practical homework to reinforce progress between meetings.
Across 25 years of practice Tammy has worked with a wide range of concerns including intimacy-related issues, LGBT topics, bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and caregiver stress. She also supports people navigating adoption and foster care histories, attachment questions, blended family dynamics, and body image or sexual culture issues. Tammy aims for honest, respectful collaboration and helps people identify doable actions toward their goals.
People meet with her weekly at first, with occasional short check-ins available during early weeks to strengthen new skills. She describes therapy as an opportunity to get to know yourself better, reduce daily strain, and make space to handle deeper issues when ready. Her practice accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

How Tammy’s approaches translate to online work
Tammy commonly uses client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy tools. Client-centered work focuses on listening, building trust, and helping people find their own solutions; it helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort things out. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior, and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and career-related stress. Dialectical behavior therapy adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindful interaction, which can be useful when strong emotions interfere with daily life.Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Tammy will work with the person to decide which tools fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow brief midweek check-ins to reinforce new skills, and support homework and coaching between meetings. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to maintain momentum, practice skills in real life, and keep progress moving while adapting the approach to each person’s schedule and needs.
