Tammera Carbo, LCMHC, LMHC - Therapist in North Carolina

About Tammera

Tammera Carbo is a licensed counselor with over three decades of experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns among a wide range of life stresses. Tammera writes plainly and listens carefully to understand what is worrying a person now.

She aims to make sessions practical so parents can try ideas between meetings. Her work centers on helping people manage anxiety, depression, grief, anger, ADHD challenges, addictions, and relationship or intimacy problems.

Background and approach

She also helps with career questions, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Communication and family of origin issues are part of her regular focus. Tammera uses approaches that target thoughts, behaviors, and personal stories to create change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and supports concrete skill building. Narrative Therapy helps people examine and reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their families. She has worked in inpatient, residential, outpatient, and school settings.

That variety informs how she matches methods to each person’s situation. Tammera also notes she can include faith-based perspectives when a client requests that option. Sessions aim to offer clear steps and tools parents can use at home.

The tone is professional, yet down-to-earth, with an emphasis on what can be tried right away. Parents who want straightforward guidance for family or parenting struggles will find a practical focus in her work.

How different approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s concerns at the center and emphasizes listening and collaboration. Online sessions using this approach focus on understanding a parent’s experience and building solutions that fit daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches specific skills to reduce anxiety or change unhelpful habits. Delivered over video or phone, CBT tends to focus on practical exercises and homework to try between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each client about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those aims. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to parenting or family needs and lets the clinician adjust methods over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit appointments into busy family schedules, allow quick check-ins between sessions, and let parents use tools from home. Licensed professionals can still use structured methods, stories, and skill practice effectively through these remote formats, while keeping the focus practical and action-oriented.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
