Tammy Mayer, LPC

Tammy Mayer is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with seven years in the mental health field. She began her work after seeing firsthand how a devastating F-5 tornado left people unable to name or talk about their trauma. That experience led her back to school and into counseling. She has worked in residential, outpatient, in-home, and school-based settings. Tammy has supported people facing a wide range of clinical concerns, including anxiety, depression, anger, and trauma. She focuses much of her time with adolescents and young adults who are struggling with mood instability, school problems, and strong emotions. Tammy’s counseling style is warm and interactive. She aims to build a trusting connection so clients feel heard and understood. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where people learn how their brain and body respond to stress. Her sessions use practical strategies to help people gain more control over feelings and behavior. Tammy adapts interventions to each person’s needs and tries different techniques when traditional approaches haven’t worked. She also works with parents around parenting challenges, grief, relationship issues, and the impacts of adoption or foster care. Tammy seeks to make therapy engaging and goal-oriented so clients can see real change over time. People who want a respectful, down-to-earth therapist for teens or young adults will find her approach straightforward and supportive. Tammy aims to walk alongside clients as they rebuild and move toward greater stability and wellbeing.

How practical therapy approaches work online

CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms. In practice this looks like setting small experiments, tracking thoughts, and practicing new coping skills between sessions.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on creating safer relationships by understanding connection patterns from early life. It can help with attachment issues, parenting concerns, and struggles tied to adoption or foster care.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tammy will work with clients to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. She adapts interventions when something isn’t working and involves clients in planning next steps.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be useful when video isn’t possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins, quick skill coaching, or a way to stay connected between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, and busy family life.
