Tammy Mayer, LPC - Therapist in Oklahoma

About Tammy

Tammy Mayer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma. She has seven years of experience in mental health and has worked in residential, outpatient, in-home, and school-based settings. Tammy decided to become a counselor after witnessing her community cope with an F-5 tornado and seeing people who could not name or talk about their trauma.

That experience led her back to school and into clinical work. Tammy focuses on practical, hands-on care for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, parenting concerns, ADHD, and related mood or behavioral challenges.

Background and approach

She uses clear explanations so clients understand how stress affects thoughts and actions. Sessions aim to build skills people can try between meetings. Her style is warm and interactive.

She emphasizes respect, trust, and a strong working relationship. Tammy believes connection is the foundation for progress and works to make therapy feel approachable and collaborative. Tammy uses a mix of methods tailored to each person.

She draws from attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior tools, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused steps. The plan in each case is adjusted to fit individual needs and strengths. She has particular experience with adolescents and young adults who have struggled with more traditional interventions and has trained as a Trust Based Relational Interventions practitioner.

Tammy aims to make sessions engaging while helping people find tools that support longer-term wellbeing.

How Tammy's Methods Translate to Online Care

Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and safety. It looks at how early bonds shape reactions and helps people build more predictable ways to connect and respond. This approach can be useful for those dealing with attachment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, or relational wounds.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change thought patterns and behaviors. It breaks problems into manageable steps and is effective for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for intense emotions and impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tammy will work with each person to choose and adapt methods based on goals, needs, and preferences. Over time she adjusts strategies so clients can try what fits best in their daily lives.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to keep momentum between sessions and to practice skills in the context of everyday life. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver the same core techniques and to tailor pace and tools to each person's situation.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
