About Tammy
Tammy Hicks is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem.

She keeps sessions straightforward and focused.
Tammy creates a calm space where clients can talk honestly about what’s hard. Conversations aim to identify what’s getting in the way and find small, practical steps forward.
Background and approach
Her background includes a bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Austin and a master’s degree from St. Edward’s University. Over 18 years she has worked in a variety of settings and seen many different concerns, which informs a flexible approach in sessions.
Tammy uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s lead and build a trusting connection. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to help change unhelpful thinking and solution-focused ideas to set clear, achievable goals. Sessions are aimed at helping people regain steadiness and build strategies they can use between meetings.
Tammy encourages small experiments and real-world practice so progress can show up in everyday life. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make that step easier and more manageable.
Online approaches that fit your life
Client-centered therapy puts your experience first. The therapist listens closely, follows your concerns, and helps you shape sessions around what matters most. This approach is useful when someone needs a supportive space to sort feelings and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical steps to change thoughts and behaviors. It often involves trying new skills between sessions, tracking patterns, and breaking bigger problems into manageable parts. This can help with anxiety, mood struggles, and unhelpful thinking.
Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on small, achievable goals. Sessions are structured to find what’s already working and build on those strengths so progress can show up quickly in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods as those needs become clearer. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits each person's situation.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions, send quick updates, or do shorter exchanges during a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules while keeping the focus on progress and usable skills.
