About Tammi
Tammi Hawkes-August is a licensed professional clinical counselor with six years of experience practicing in California. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with addictions. Tammi emphasizes each person's strengths and supports them as they take steps toward change.
She believes the client is the expert in their own story. Sessions are a place to talk through what matters to the client and to build practical routines and skills that can be used day to day.
How Tammi works
Tammi keeps language clear and direct so people can understand options quickly and try things between sessions. Many clients come for help with self-esteem, confidence, and motivation. Others seek support after trauma or abuse, or for issues like chronic pain, illness, and disability that affect mood and daily life.
She also addresses workplace stress, isolation, communication problems, and questions about life purpose. Tammi works to create a steady, respectful environment where people can name goals and test out new ways of coping. She offers a collaborative style that prioritizes small, achievable steps.
Progress is tracked in concrete ways so people can see how their efforts are paying off. All sessions are conducted in English and are offered through online formats. Tammi supports clients who want to explore forgiveness work, build self-love, or reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress as part of a broader plan tailored to their needs.

Online support options
Evidencebased approaches and online flexibility
Many clients find it helpful to use structured, evidencebased techniques that focus on present problems and teach skills they can use right away. Behavioral strategies involve identifying unhelpful patterns and practicing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. These approaches help with stress, depression, and motivation by breaking goals into manageable steps.Exposure and processing methods help people reduce avoidance and work through the impact of trauma and abuse in paced, supported ways. Those techniques can also apply to fears that get in the way of daily activities and relationships. The therapist will discuss which methods fit a person's history and goals and adapt the plan as progress is made.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Tammi will collaborate with each person to choose and adjust techniques based on needs, goals, and preferences. That shared decision making helps clients try options and decide what feels most useful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people meet face to face when they want deeper connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can work well for quick checkins. Live chat and textbased messaging make it possible to share progress or questions between sessions and fit support into busy days. These formats help people keep continuity of care and make regular work on goals more manageable.
