How Tammy’s Approaches Work Online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people rewrite patterns that get in the way of feeling close and safe. It can be useful for those coping with abandonment, trust issues, or painful recurring relationship themes.Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's own goals and views. The therapist listens deeply and follows what matters most, which helps clarify values, build self-worth, and guide decisions about career or life purpose.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tammy will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That collaborative process means approaches can be mixed or adjusted as progress and needs change.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls provide face-to-face interaction for deeper conversations, phone sessions are useful when video isn't possible, live chat can handle quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to use different formats for different kinds of work.
