About Tami

Tami Lorne is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 12 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. She also offers support for addiction-related concerns, LGBT issues, parenting challenges, and relationship or communication problems.

Her work blends practical counseling and a person-focused approach. She does not rely on a single technique. Instead she meets each person where they are and chooses methods that fit their situation and goals.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to be direct and understandable, so people leave with clear steps they can try between meetings. Tami has worked in both facility settings and independent practice. She spent about three years at an addiction facility doing assessments and helping people move from jail into treatment.

She also provides pro bono counseling for combat veterans through a program called Give An Hour. Her practice emphasizes looking at the whole person rather than only symptoms. In the first meeting she listens closely, then outlines an approach tailored to individual needs.

The focus is on building skills, increasing confidence, and helping people move toward the life changes they want. Tami aims to create a direct, honest, and nonjudgmental atmosphere. She describes counseling as a collaborative process where people gain tools to reduce reliance on therapy over time.

Her goal is to support and empower each person through realistic steps and steady encouragement.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Many of Tami's methods draw on well-established, evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change and coping skills. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then practice replacing them with more helpful ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method works for stress, anxiety, and many life transitions.

She also incorporates behavioral strategies that break large problems into small, doable steps. These tools are useful for addressing addictions, building healthier routines, and improving communication. Tami adapts these techniques to each person's needs rather than applying a single protocol.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. She listens during the first meetings, discusses options, and collaborates with clients to decide what fits their goals and preferences. The plan can change as progress is made or new needs arise.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Tami provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different preferences and rhythms. These formats make it easier to keep regular momentum, access support from home, and practice new skills between sessions.
