How Tammy’s approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client’s lead. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to sort through strong feelings at their own pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety, change unhelpful thinking patterns, and improve daily functioning.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Its skills work is useful for people who need structure around emotion regulation and interpersonal interactions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Tammy will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try tactics that fit their life, and adjust plans if something isn’t helping. Clients help guide what feels most useful week to week.
If you’re considering online options, confirm the current session formats before booking. That will make sure the chosen setup fits your schedule and needs. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on hectic days, and let people connect from wherever they are on a given day. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to work effectively over remote visits.
