About Tammara
Tammara Rood is a licensed marriage and family therapist in New York with 14 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and relationship concerns. She also supports those facing parenting strain, family conflict, low self-esteem, and the ups and downs of career and life changes.
She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. Sessions focus on practical steps and real conversations rather than jargon.
How Tammara works
The goal is to help people build skills that fit their life and values. Tammara uses several approaches to meet different needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns.
She also uses acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values and build committed action. Attachment-informed work is used to look at how early relationships affect current connection and trust. Dialectical behavior ideas are offered for skills around emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Client-centered principles guide the pace and focus of each conversation. Her background includes helping people manage trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, sleep and anger issues, ADHD and bipolar mood challenges, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses complex areas like abandonment, codependency, dissociation, blended family stress, and domestic violence recovery.
People who come to her typically want straightforward support, clearer communication, and tools to handle everyday problems. Tammara partners with clients to set realistic goals and to track small, steady progress.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings while focusing on what matters to them. It often involves choosing small, values-driven actions even when emotions are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical tactics to shift unhelpful habits and improve mood. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns shape current connections and trust, and it helps people develop healthier ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Sessions are collaborative, with adjustments made over time to match progress and needs.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setting is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, quick skill coaching, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep steady momentum toward goals.
