About Tammy

Tammy Quarles is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on practical support for everyday problems. She listens without judgment and helps people figure out clear next steps. Her style is straightforward and cooperative, aimed at reducing stress and rebuilding confidence.

Tammy works from Mississippi and offers sessions using several online formats. Tammy brings 23 years of experience to conversations about career shifts, life changes, anxiety, and parenting concerns. She centers each meeting on the client’s strengths and goals.

Background and approach

Sessions often cover coping skills, boundaries, and decision-making so clients leave with usable tools. Her work draws on client-centered principles, which means the person’s experience guides the pace and focus. She also uses mindfulness practices to help calm racing thoughts and motivational interviewing to support real behavior change.

Solution-focused techniques are applied when clients want brief, goal-oriented steps. Tammy treats issues such as grief, compassion fatigue, anger, and self-esteem by blending listening with practical suggestions. She also addresses topics like postpartum mood changes, body image, and money-related stress with down-to-earth strategies.

Sessions are offered in English and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Appointments can be scheduled to fit different routines, and Tammy helps people map out an approach that matches their needs.

Practical approaches and online options for real life

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what matters most to the person in front of the therapist. It involves open listening and following the client’s lead to uncover goals and obstacles. This approach helps when someone needs time and space to sort through feelings and choices.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily tension without getting swept up by them. Practicing mindfulness can reduce anxiety and help with stress, panic symptoms, and difficult moments like parenting or grief.

Tammy will work with clients to find the best mix of methods. She sees selecting an approach as a team effort - based on the person’s goals, daily life, and what feels most helpful. If one method isn’t working, she adjusts the plan together with the client.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain regular contact, and use brief check-ins between appointments. The variety of choices supports continuity of care and lets people pick what feels most convenient and comfortable for them.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
