Tammy Threatts, LCSW - Therapist in Louisiana

About Tammy

Tammy Threatts is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on family and parenting concerns among a wide range of life challenges. She speaks plainly and helps people untangle stress, anxiety, mood problems, and relationship tensions. Her approach aims to make therapy practical and usable in day-to-day family life.

Tammy draws on a long career to offer steady support and clear steps forward. Tammy trained at Jackson State University and has practiced social work for 26 years.

Background and approach

She blends tools from cognitive behavioral therapy with mindfulness and narrative techniques. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, calm their reactions, and reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. She also uses trauma-focused methods when past hurts make current parenting or family life harder.

Sessions often center on solving specific parenting and family challenges, improving communication, and finding ways to cope with anger, grief, or life changes. Tammy works to make strategies feel realistic for busy households. She aims for short, clear experiments clients can try between visits.

Her experience includes treating mood disorders, stress-related problems, and trauma-related issues. Tammy also addresses concerns such as self-esteem, intimacy-related struggles, sleeping problems, and career stress when these affect family life. Her practice reflects attention to cultural differences and issues faced by veterans and service members.

Therapy with Tammy is collaborative. She helps people set goals and track progress using methods that fit their values and daily routines.

How Tammy’s Approaches Work Online

Tammy uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on practical steps and simple exercises that can reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and ease everyday family tensions. Mindfulness therapy is also a part of her work and teaches short practices to calm strong emotions, improve focus, and respond more calmly in stressful parenting moments.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Tammy will talk with clients about goals, daily routines, and what feels manageable. Together they decide whether CBT, mindfulness, narrative work, or trauma-focused methods fit best and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy family lives. Video calls let clients work face to face from home, phone sessions fit on-the-go schedules, and live chat or text messaging allow quick check-ins or support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent when days are full and schedules change.

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.

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.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
