About Tammy

Her approach focuses on building trust first. Sessions aim to create a comfortable space to name problems and try practical steps.

Background and approach

Tammy listens actively and adapts methods to each person’s situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Tammy draws from several evidence-informed methods, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior ideas, existential perspectives, and EMDR for trauma. She mixes tools to address symptoms and to help people find meaning after difficult experiences.

That mix lets her address things like anxiety, phobias, PTSD, and patterns that keep repeating in relationships. With 14 years of practice as an LCSW, Tammy has worked with individuals, families, and groups. She keeps explanations simple and gives concrete techniques to try between sessions.

Her style suits people who want practical support and clear next steps. People in New Mexico can meet with Tammy by video, phone, chat, or messaging. She guides the first steps and helps clients choose a pace and format that fits their life.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and responding to each person’s needs. It helps people feel heard and supports exploration of personal goals and values in everyday language. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and changing patterns that block progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tammy will talk with clients about goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That collaboration helps ensure the chosen approaches feel practical and manageable for daily life.

Online sessions can be held by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, avoid travel, and follow up between meetings. Using different formats also allows clients to choose the way they feel most comfortable when working through stress, parenting challenges, trauma recovery, or mood concerns.

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.

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.
