Approaches that guide online sessions

Tammy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce anxiety or low mood. She also integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, building trust, and following each person's pace and priorities. When trauma is present, she may draw on EMDR methods to help process difficult memories in a structured way.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tammy works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, comfort level, and life situation. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress and needs evolve.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat or text messaging can fit brief updates, ongoing support between sessions, or times when written reflection feels most helpful. These options make it possible to schedule therapy around work, childcare, or travel while keeping a steady rhythm of care.
