Background and approach
Tammy emphasizes that the client knows their story best and brings strengths into the work. Sessions aim to rebuild a sense of feeling better and to find practical steps for growth. In the therapy room she uses clear, goal-oriented methods.
Tammy draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find reasons and energy for change. For trauma she offers EMDR, a structured approach intended to reduce distress linked to painful memories.
Tammy pairs these methods with a steady focus on what each person wants to achieve. Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She works together with clients to set goals and pick the methods that fit their needs.
Tammy practices in New York and holds the NY LMHC 015052 credential.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Tammy uses evidence-based techniques to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. Motivational interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find internal reasons to change and build momentum toward goals. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is offered for trauma and aims to lessen the emotional charge of painful memories.Deciding which approach to use is part of the process. Tammy works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She explains options and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work between in-person appointments when needed. The variety of session types supports different preferences for pacing, interaction, and convenience.
