About Tammy

Background and approach

She also addresses common parenting pressures and the emotional fallout that follows relationship upheaval. Sessions focus on clear goals and usable strategies rather than jargon. Tammy helps clients name what’s causing distress and then tries out ways to change patterns.

She pays attention to issues like attachment and abandonment, as well as feelings such as guilt, shame, and isolation. Practical communication skills and techniques for managing anger and impulses are often part of the work. Other concerns she regularly addresses include body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, money and financial worries, and life purpose questions.

Tammy also supports people dealing with divorce, control issues, forgiveness, and midlife transitions. Her approach is adaptable and aimed at resolving immediate problems while building longer-term coping skills. Sessions are offered in English and take place through a variety of online formats.

Tammy encourages people to take the first step when they feel ready and supports clients as they set realistic goals and try new ways of responding to old problems.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Evidence-based techniques often focus on teaching skills people can use right away. One common approach Tammy uses is cognitive-behavioral work, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test different responses to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. This approach is practical for symptoms such as depression, anxiety, anger, and impulsivity.

Another useful method involves trauma-informed strategies that focus on safety and pacing. These techniques help people process difficult experiences in manageable steps and build coping tools for triggers and flashbacks. They can also support recovery from addiction by addressing underlying stressors and emotional patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tammy collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time based on what is helping and what feels workable in everyday life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to stay connected. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when video isn't possible, and live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins or to practice skills between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and keep continuity when life gets unpredictable.
