How Tammy’s Approaches Work Online

Tammy uses client-centered work to keep sessions focused on what matters most to the person. This approach means she listens carefully and follows the client's lead to set goals and priorities. Mindfulness practices are used to help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations in the moment and reduce reactivity; these techniques can help with anxiety, panic, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tammy will discuss options, try techniques, and check in about what helps. She collaborates with clients to tailor methods based on their needs, goals, and personal preferences rather than offering a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into daily life. Video is useful for longer conversations and interactive exercises, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats give flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
