Tammara Rood, LMFT

Tammara Rood is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in New York. She helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship and parenting challenges, and issues like ADHD, addictions, and self-esteem. She welcomes straightforward conversations about day-to-day struggles and bigger life changes.

Her sessions focus on practical tools and clear goals. Tammara uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Attachment-Based methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. She also draws from client-centered and dialectical behavior ideas when they fit the person’s needs.

Clients can expect a warm, nonjudgmental space to talk through problems and try new strategies. She encourages small, concrete steps that build momentum over time. Homework and skill practice are used when they help progress toward goals.

With 14 years of clinical experience, Tammara has supported people facing family conflict, blended family stress, caregiver strain, and difficult separations. She also addresses issues like abandonment, codependency, dissociation, and domestic violence when they arise in therapy.

Tammara offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. She conducts therapy in English and practices from New York.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Tammara frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT focuses on changing thinking patterns and building skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach she uses; it teaches people to notice difficult feelings and choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck in avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy informs her work on relationship and family concerns by looking at how past bonds shape current connections and reactions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That can mean mixing elements from CBT, ACT, attachment work, client-centered techniques, or DBT skills until the plan fits the person.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, skill coaching between sessions, or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while keeping consistent momentum.
