How Tammy’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Tammy uses evidence-based techniques that help people change unhelpful thinking and build self-directed coping skills. One approach focuses on recognizing links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns by practicing new ways of thinking and acting. Another approach centers on a person-centered style that emphasizes empathy, respect, and listening so clients feel heard while they set their own goals.Choosing the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Tammy works with each person to test what fits best, adjusting techniques over time based on goals and progress. She encourages people to try small steps and brings practical exercises into sessions so clients can practice between meetings.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and developing rapport. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text let people check in between sessions and work through thoughts in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family tasks, and daily life while still getting structured support.
