About Tammara

Tammara Rood is a New York licensed marriage and family therapist with 14 years of clinical experience addressing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting and family conflicts, and issues with self-esteem and motivation.

Background and approach

She also addresses more specialized challenges such as attachment and abandonment concerns, communication and control problems, caregiver stress, codependency, and complexities like co-morbidity and dissociation. Her practice includes work around sleep difficulties, anger, career transitions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Rood emphasizes creating an open, nonjudgmental setting where clients can explore thoughts and feelings candidly. She draws on evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to tailor treatment to individual needs.

Clients are invited to partner in the work of identifying goals and building practical skills to manage symptoms and improve relationships. Her approach balances structured interventions with empathetic listening to support clients through life changes and moments of crisis.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical strategies to change behaviors and emotional responses; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and build psychological flexibility by combining mindfulness with actionable steps toward meaningful goals. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns and early attachment experiences to improve current relationship functioning and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals and will adapt methods over time to find the best fit. That partnership emphasizes shared decision-making so interventions feel relevant and sustainable for each person.

Online therapy offers practical benefits through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose formats that suit their schedules and comfort levels. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, manage symptoms between sessions, and access therapy from wherever the client is located within the therapist's service area.
