Approaches That Guide Online Work

Tammy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, often working on specific skills for managing anxiety, mood, and stress. She also employs Client-Centered Therapy, offering empathic listening and acceptance to help clients explore feelings and build self-understanding at their own pace. These approaches can be useful for issues such as depression, self-esteem struggles, trauma-related reactions, and navigating life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tammy approaches that decision collaboratively. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past, then tailor methods and exercises so they fit the client's needs and daily routine.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try short check-ins between longer sessions, and adapt how work is done so clients can practice skills in their everyday context.
