About Tammy
Tammy Person is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with 15 years of experience. She aims to offer steady support for people who are nervous about starting therapy and want practical help making changes in their lives. Tammy creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can say what they think and feel.
She listens with care and helps clients notice patterns that get in the way of daily life. Sessions focus on simple, usable tools rather than long lectures.
Background and approach
Her work blends cognitive behavioral ideas with client-centered and mindfulness approaches. That means she helps people identify unhelpful thoughts, try out different behaviors, and practice awareness skills that reduce reactivity. Tammy also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and narrative ideas to help people clarify values and rewrite unhelpful stories about themselves.
She has experience addressing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, addictions, trauma and grief, LGBTQ issues, and challenges like ADHD and bipolar disorder. Tammy also pays attention to issues such as caregiving stress, body image, and life changes that come with aging. Tammy aims to teach skills that people can use between sessions.
She offers direct feedback, practical exercises, and short-term strategies while also working toward longer-term goals. The tone in her work is warm and straightforward - supportive but willing to challenge where needed.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Tammy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and then try new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings.She also brings client-centered and mindfulness elements into virtual work, offering a listening presence and simple awareness practices that reduce reactivity. Tammy treats finding the right approach as a team effort. During early sessions she and the client will talk about goals, try approaches, and adjust strategies until they find what fits the person's needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a person prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can work well for brief check-ins, homework review, or managing symptoms between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help therapy fit into busy lives.
