How Tammy’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy means sessions start with the person’s own goals and values. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps clients decide what they want to change and why, which works well for issues like life purpose, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress because it gives concrete tools people can practice between sessions.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that helps process disturbing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. It can be useful for post-traumatic stress and other trauma-related symptoms when a client and therapist decide it is appropriate.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tammy will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they will review what feels helpful and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for full conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a brief check-in fits a work break. Live chat and text work well for shorter updates, reflection between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep continuity during life transitions.
