Tammera Carbo, LCMHC, LMHC

Tammera Carbo is a licensed mental health professional with more than three decades of counseling experience. She helps people facing stress and anxiety, depression, grief, anger, ADHD, addictions, and relationship or family concerns. Her approach aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for everyday life.

She draws on client-centered work to meet people where they are and on cognitive behavioral methods to look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. Narrative therapy is used to reframe personal stories, and solution-focused techniques help create concrete next steps. Tammera can include faith-based perspectives when requested.

Her background includes work in inpatient, residential, outpatient, and school settings. That variety shaped a practical style that values clear goals and usable skills. Sessions typically focus on coping with life changes, parenting and family of origin issues, communication problems, and work or career stress.

Tammera holds LCMHC and LMHC credentials and practices in North Carolina. She emphasizes short-term, goal-oriented work when helpful, alongside deeper conversations when needed. The aim is to help people notice small shifts that improve day-to-day functioning.

People who choose her often want straightforward tools and respectful listening. She offers guidance on anger management, intimacy-related struggles, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and compassion fatigue. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience, offering empathy and support while the client leads the pace and topics. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from a problem and rewrite the story they tell about difficult events.

Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize immediate coping skills, cognitive work, or narrative reframing so the plan fits the person’s needs.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use tools and worksheets during sessions and practice skills between meetings. The focus remains on practical steps and measurable progress, whether work centers on anxiety, grief, parenting strain, or career stress.
