About Tammy
Tammy Mayer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma with seven years of experience in mental health. She chose counseling after seeing her community cope with a devastating F-5 tornado and wanting to learn how to help people process trauma. Tammy has worked in residential, outpatient, in-home, and school-based settings.
She aims to create a respectful, warm space where people can talk about difficult feelings. Tammy focuses on adolescents and young adults who are facing anger, anxiety, depression, school problems, mood instability, and related challenges.
How Tammy works
She uses practical strategies so people can understand how their brain reacts to stress and take clearer control over thoughts and actions. Her style is interactive and relationship-focused, with an emphasis on building trust before diving into hard work. She draws from several approaches, including attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior tools, mindfulness, and solution-focused methods.
Tammy tailors interventions to each person rather than applying a single formula. That flexibility helps when standard approaches haven’t worked well. Tammy also has experience with adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, disaster-related stress, domestic violence effects, and self-harm risk factors.
She supports people affected by mood disorders, panic, OCD symptoms, PTSD, impulsivity, isolation, and grief. Tammy works to make sessions engaging and usable for everyday life. If someone wants step-by-step skills and compassionate listening, Tammy offers a practical, collaborative approach.
She aims to walk alongside clients as they find safer ways to cope and build more satisfying routines and relationships.

Approaches that translate to online care
Attachment-based work focuses on repairing and strengthening relationships by looking at how early connections shape reactions today; it can help people who struggle with trust, closeness, or big emotional reactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches clear skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood instability. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal behavior, which can help with impulsivity and strong mood swings.Tammy treats finding the right approach as a shared task. She will listen to a person’s goals and preferences, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust the plan when something isn’t helping. Clients and therapist decide together which tools to keep using and which to change.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging gives options to match day-to-day needs. Video calls let people read facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, between-session support, or shorter focused conversations. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, or family schedules while still using the approaches described above.
