Dr. Tammy Freeman, LPC, LMHC - Therapist in New Jersey

About Tammy

Dr. Tammy Freeman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with more than 21 years in behavioral health. She focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, depression, coping with life changes, and parenting challenges.

She aims to give parents clear, practical support when life feels overwhelming. She keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. Conversations often start with what feels most urgent and what the parent hopes to change.

Background and approach

Dr. Freeman uses familiar language so parents can apply ideas between sessions. She emphasizes listening closely and helping clients identify small, manageable steps forward.

Her background includes work in hospitals, nonprofit agencies, and independent practice. That variety shaped her ability to shift approaches to fit each person’s situation. Early in her career she worked as an elementary school teacher, a path that informs how she connects with families and explains concepts plainly.

Therapeutic methods include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She blends these to address mood, relationship tensions, parenting questions, grief, trauma, and addiction concerns. The focus is on practical strategies and clearer thinking rather than jargon.

Clients can expect a calm, patient style aimed at helping them feel more in control. She offers a space to talk through hard things, name goals, and take realistic steps toward them. Dr.

Freeman approaches each person as having value and purpose and works to help them reconnect with that sense of meaning.

How her approaches translate to online support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting people where they are; it helps parents feel heard and understood so they can sort out priorities and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and habits and teaches clear strategies to change patterns that increase anxiety or low mood. Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and patterns influence current reactions, which can help when deeper family dynamics or longstanding patterns affect parenting.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss options and tailor the work to the client’s needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they can try methods and adjust course as progress is made or new concerns arise.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy family life. Video calls let people see facial cues and have a regular weekly check-in. Phone sessions can be simpler when a screen is impractical, and live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, questions between sessions, or when written reflection feels more natural. These formats aim to provide flexibility so therapy can be sustained alongside parenting and other responsibilities.

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.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Exploring how earlier relationships and patterns still shape the present, often over a longer stretch of time. It relies on conversation and reflection rather than exercises.
