About Tammy

Tammy White is a licensed clinical social worker in New Mexico with 14 years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of challenges.

Background and approach

She works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family struggles, substance use concerns, ADHD, sleep and eating difficulties, and other life transitions. Her practice also addresses attachment issues, guilt and shame, isolation, forgiveness, and questions of life purpose.

Her style emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship where clients' thoughts and feelings are respected and explored. Tammy draws on evidence-informed tools including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), client-centered approaches, existential exploration, and EMDR when trauma processing is indicated.

She aims to tailor interventions to each person's needs while helping them build practical coping skills and deeper self-understanding. Throughout her career Tammy has worked with individuals, families, and groups, guiding clients toward clearer goals and improved day-to-day functioning.

She invites those taking the first step toward help to engage in a process that balances practical strategies with empathetic support.

Approaches for Online Healing and Skill Building



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression; it often involves practical exercises and skill building to address daily challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a nonjudgmental attitude so clients can explore their concerns at their own pace and develop greater self-understanding. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines acceptance and change strategies, offering skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process. Tammy works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to adapt methods over time so the work feels relevant and achievable. This collaborative stance helps shape treatment plans that balance symptom relief with deeper personal insight.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, letting clients connect in ways that match their schedules and comfort levels. These formats can make it easier to maintain consistency with sessions, practice skills between meetings, and access care from different locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor treatment to each person's situation.
