How Tammy blends approaches for online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current reactions. It helps people notice patterns in close relationships and learn new ways to feel and connect. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and can help with anxiety, depression, and mood swings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation and coping skills for intense feelings and impulsivity.Tammy works collaboratively to find the best approach for each person. She listens to goals, reviews what has and hasn't helped in the past, and tailors the plan with the client. Together they adjust methods over time so the work matches changing needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins, immediate practice of skills, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options let people work therapy into school, work, or family schedules while keeping the focus on progress and usable tools.
