Tammy Chatfield , LPC

Tammy Chatfield is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oregon with 20 years of experience. She draws on long experience to help people find steadier ground during big life shifts. Tammy talks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

Tammy concentrates on stress and anxiety, grief, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with life changes. She also helps with issues tied to attachment, abandonment, control, and relationship endings. Women’s issues and challenges faced by young adults appear often in her work.

Her style centers on listening and building a clear plan together. Tammy combines client-centered conversation with goal-focused strategies to help people move forward. Sessions look at thoughts, patterns from the past, and small changes that make daily life easier.

Clients can expect a calm, straightforward approach that names barriers and then works on practical solutions. Topics like guilt, shame, forgiveness, and finding life purpose are talked through with attention to each person’s values. Tammy respects people who want faith-informed care while also using techniques from evidence-informed therapies.

Therapy is tailored to what each person needs. Tammy helps people set manageable goals, try new behaviors between sessions, and track what changes. The aim is clearer thinking, steadier emotions, and better coping in everyday life.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships influence present feelings and reactions. Tammy uses this approach to help people recognize patterns that affect trust, closeness, and fear of abandonment, then try new ways of relating.

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following each person's priorities. This approach creates space for people to be heard, clarify values, and build the confidence to make decisions that matter to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It offers practical techniques for managing anxiety, reshaping unhelpful thoughts, and testing small behavioral changes to see what helps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tammy will discuss these methods and tailor a mix based on the person's goals, preferences, and experiences. The process is collaborative and adjusts as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility for those with busy schedules or limited travel time. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging provide quick moments of support between sessions or a way to work without being on camera. These options make it easier to fit steady therapeutic work into everyday life.
