About Tammy
Dr. Tammy Freeman helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, substance concerns, relationship strain, trauma, grief, and life transitions. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with more than 21 years in behavioral health, and she practices from New Jersey.
Her style is warm and straightforward. Sessions are a place to talk, sort priorities, and practice new ways of coping. She aims to make therapy a practical part of everyday life, not a list of abstract tasks.
How Tammy works
Dr. Freeman uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She draws on client-centered methods to focus on what matters to the client.
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns and shift thinking. Psychodynamic ideas can help uncover long-standing relationship patterns, and solution-focused work helps people build concrete next steps. Her background includes work in hospitals, non-profit agencies, and independent practice.
That variety has shaped her ability to address issues like caregiver stress, adoption and foster care concerns, aging and geriatric issues, and challenges faced by veterans and first responders. In sessions she listens for what gives a person purpose and helps them name small, realistic goals. People often begin with a short plan and revise it as progress is made.
Her aim is to help people find clearer footing and a sense of forward motion.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client-centered therapy emphasizes the person's own goals and values. The therapist listens carefully and follows the client's lead to build understanding and confidence, which is useful for issues like self-esteem, life purpose, and parenting stress.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and trying practical alternatives. It is often used for anxiety, depression, coping with change, and managing cravings related to addiction.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and the issue at hand. Plans are adjusted over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for more in-depth weekly sessions, phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quicker check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between meetings. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different day-to-day routines.
