How Tammy works
Tammy guides goal setting but focuses on small, achievable steps. She encourages recognizing strengths while keeping expectations realistic. Her work uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy within a client-centered framework.
That means Tammy helps people notice thoughts and feelings, choose values-based actions, and practice new behaviors that fit their goals. Tammy pays close attention to emotions that come with change, like anxiety, fear, or guilt. She helps clients name those feelings and find manageable ways to move ahead.
The aim is steady progress toward goals, not sudden perfection.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Tammy often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, life changes, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce distress and build confidence.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tammy will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and adjust methods as needed. Together they decide which techniques fit best and set small, practical steps to measure progress.
Online sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow full conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options help make therapy more accessible around busy schedules and different comfort levels.
