Background and approach
She draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe difficult stories from their past. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused methods guide short-term goal setting and small, steady changes. Tammy has supported people facing trauma, grief, addiction, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and relationship problems.
She also focuses on adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and first responder challenges. Tammy pays attention to how life events affect everyday functioning and decision making. In sessions she helps people name what matters, set manageable goals, and try different approaches at their own pace.
Conversations aim to be direct, practical, and hopeful. Tammy emphasizes teamwork: clients and therapist decide what next steps look like together. Her style is straightforward and warm.
Tammy knows small changes can make a big difference over time. She works to leave people with clear strategies they can use after a session ends.
How Tammy’s approaches translate to online therapy
Many of Tammy's methods fit well with online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing new skills to change them. It helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by giving clear steps to try between sessions. Narrative Therapy helps people tell their life story in new ways and separate themselves from painful events so they can find different meanings and options.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tammy collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their needs and goals. She will help identify what to try first, check how it’s going, and shift plans if something isn’t helping. That partnership guides treatment choices over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people see and hear each other for fuller conversation. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and messaging offer short check-ins or ongoing written support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
