About Tammy
Tammy Russell is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and trauma. Tammy aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where people feel heard as they take steps toward change.
She uses straightforward talk and practical tools to address problems like low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and relationship or intimacy-related struggles. Sessions are shaped around each person's goals, so plans look different depending on what someone needs most.
How Tammy works
Tammy also works with mood concerns such as bipolar disorder, panic attacks, and obsessive-compulsive patterns. Her approach draws on proven strategies including cognitive behavioral methods and dialectical behavior techniques to teach coping skills and shift unhelpful thinking. Tammy combines that with client-centered listening and motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and stay engaged.
She also helps with specific stressors such as caregiver strain, abandonment issues, dissociation, infidelity, and problems rooted in family of origin. Career questions, midlife transitions, and figuring out life purpose are other areas she addresses. Therapy is offered in flexible formats so people can pick what fits their schedule and comfort.
Tammy works in English and practices in Florida. The first sessions focus on building a plan that matches immediate needs and longer term goals.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and tailoring the conversation around each person's experience; it helps people feel understood and involved in setting goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, panic, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and mood problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsivity, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. Tammy will work with each person to match techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences. Early sessions typically look at what matters most now and then introduce methods that feel useful and manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people talk face-to-face when that is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or the session needs to fit a quick break. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, and more flexible timing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
