About Tammy
Dr. Tammy Kirschner welcomes parents who are worried, overwhelmed, or stuck. She introduces herself plainly and offers a steady presence when life feels chaotic.
Tammy is a Florida psychologist with three decades of experience who listens, supports, and helps people sort through intense feelings. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort to set clear goals and take small, practical steps forward. Many callers describe feeling anxious, low, or pulled in too many directions at once.
Background and approach
Tammy helps organize thoughts and calm racing emotions so decisions feel more manageable. She uses a mix of evidence-based techniques and supportive conversation to teach coping skills that fit daily life. Her background includes work in college counseling centers, outpatient anxiety clinics, eating disorder groups, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, and independent practice.
Tammy has helped people facing depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and family stress, self-esteem struggles, grief, and career transitions. She has also provided career consulting such as resume writing and job search strategies. In sessions she draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, behavioral approaches, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods.
Tammy takes an active, creative role and often offers practical exercises and brainstorming during appointments. She emphasizes support and validation as the foundation of change. Therapy with Tammy is offered in English and is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
She works with adults seeking help for a wide range of concerns and aims to build tools clients can use long after therapy ends.
Evidence-based approaches for online family and parenting support
Tammy uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and daily stressors because it focuses on changing thinking patterns and habits.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills, which teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clear communication. DBT techniques can help when emotions feel intense or family interactions become heated.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. Tammy works with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adapts techniques as progress is made and checks in regularly to make sure the work feels useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options let clients fit therapy around busy schedules, continue work during transitions, and revisit short messages or exercises between sessions. The variety also makes it easier to try different ways of connecting and find what helps most.
