How Tammy’s approaches translate to online work

Tammy draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people manage stress and anxiety. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce distress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to calm the body and notice emotions without acting on them.

She also uses Narrative Therapy, which helps people retell difficult experiences and find new meanings. That approach can be useful for grief, trauma, or identity concerns because it highlights personal strengths and choice. Tammy treats trauma with trauma-focused methods that emphasize safety and gradual processing when appropriate.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tammy will listen to your goals and try strategies that fit your needs and preferences. She adapts methods as you progress so sessions remain practical and goal-oriented.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find therapy online helps fit sessions into busy days, makes it easier to attend when travel is difficult, and supports regular check-ins between life demands. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively in remote work when the format fits the person’s schedule and communication style.
