How Tammy’s approaches work online

Tammy blends cognitive behavioral techniques with attachment-based and client-centered ideas to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and stress. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people build more secure ways of relating. Client-centered methods prioritize the client's perspective, offering a listening space that follows the person's goals and pace.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of therapy. Tammy works collaboratively to decide what fits a client's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow for richer interaction and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and messaging is useful for ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, parenting, or other busy schedules while focusing on practical change.
