About Tammy
Early sessions focus on getting to know the person and understanding what led them to seek help. Tammy uses a person-centered approach at first so clients can describe their concerns and identify what matters most. From there she may introduce other strategies that better fit the goals you bring to therapy.
She commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice how thoughts and behaviors affect mood, and dialectical behavior tools to build skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Tammy also draws on emotionally-focused and Gottman-informed ideas when relationship patterns and communication are a central concern.
Sessions are usually 45 minutes and often scheduled once weekly. Tammy may suggest short extra check-ins during the first month or two to help build momentum and practice new skills. Homework assignments are common and designed to reinforce progress between sessions.
Her style is straightforward and warm, with a touch of humor when it fits. Tammy emphasizes trust, empathy, and helping clients discover practical ways to cope, grow, and create more ease in daily life.
Approaches that guide online work and skill building
Tammy often draws from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy means the conversation begins with the client’s priorities, using listening and reflection to help people see what’s working and what isn’t. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and building practical experiments to change them. Dialectical behavior therapy supplies concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving coping, and reducing impulsive reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tammy will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their needs and goals. That collaboration includes reviewing what you want to change and trying techniques that match your pace and comfort level.
The therapist’s profile does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so clients can practice skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can use remote work to keep momentum while you try new tools and notice small changes in everyday life.
