About Tammie

Tammie Greggains is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who uses a client-centered approach. She focuses on listening first and tailoring sessions to the needs parents describe. Her style is direct and practical, aimed at helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting concerns, and life changes.

She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. That work is often aimed at reducing anxiety, improving sleep and mood, and managing worry or panic.

Background and approach

Emotionally-focused ideas guide conversations about family bonds and closeness when relationships feel strained. Her background includes eleven years in the mental health field, with experience in school settings and independent practice. That range has involved working with young adults, individuals, and families on issues such as grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, and self-harm.

The practical experience informs how she structures sessions and sets small, reachable goals. Tammie approaches sessions with acceptance and without judgment. She treats the person who shows up, not a label, and helps clients name what they want to change.

Treatment plans emphasize clear steps people can try between meetings. Sessions may include talk, skill practice, and focused problem-solving. Parents often bring concerns about blended family dynamics, divorce or separation, and parenting strategies.

Tammie aims to help families find clearer patterns and workable next steps.

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's priorities and preferences. In practice that means the therapist listens first, follows the client's lead, and adapts sessions to what the client brings up. This style helps when families need a flexible plan rather than a rigid program.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions practice specific skills such as breathing, thought tracking, or behavior experiments. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, sleep problems, and mood concerns because it breaks big problems into small steps.

Tammie will work with each person to decide which approach fits best. That choice is collaborative and can change as goals evolve. She typically combines listening, skill practice, and short homework tasks so progress can be measured between sessions.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes therapy more flexible for busy families. Video and phone let people talk in real time, while chat and messaging support brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between appointments. This range of options helps parents and individuals fit therapy into complex schedules and different comfort levels.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
