About Tammy
Tammy Christensen helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, and depression. She emphasizes practical steps and steady support while clients work toward clearer goals and more confidence. Tammy is a Licensed Professional Counselor, with licenses in Missouri and Idaho and 20 years of experience.
She approaches sessions believing each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. The counselor’s role is to support and help people build on those strengths to make meaningful change.
How Tammy works
In a typical meeting Tammy listens closely, helps identify small, workable goals, and offers feedback on coping skills. She focuses on everyday tools you can use between sessions to handle urges, manage worry, and improve communication. This is straightforward help for common, painful problems.
She also addresses issues tied to abandonment, blended family dynamics, body image, codependency, commitment and control issues, and grief around divorce or separation. Tammy pays attention to co-occurring problems so care can address more than one difficulty at once.
Sessions aim to be an empowering experience where people learn practical ways to manage impulses, rebuild trust in themselves, and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Tammy frames progress as steady steps rather than sudden fixes, and supports people through the process.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online care
Tammy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach involves identifying clear goals and breaking them into small, achievable steps so progress feels manageable; this helps with anxiety, low motivation, and building confidence. Another approach emphasizes skill-building for coping and impulse control, teaching concrete strategies to handle urges, reduce stress, and improve day-to-day functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Tammy will discuss what feels most useful and will adapt methods based on each person’s goals, needs, and preferences. The process is collaborative and flexible, so techniques can shift if something isn’t working.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more visual feedback is helpful. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to send shorter updates, ask questions between sessions, or use written reflections when that feels easier. These options make scheduling simpler and allow therapy to fit into busy lives.
