Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's own goals and strengths. In this approach the therapist provides empathy, acceptance, and support while the client guides the direction of sessions, which can be helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and develop practical strategies to change them. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with addictive behaviors.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it useful for managing intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and chronic patterns of dysregulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tammy works collaboratively with clients and with other licensed professionals when appropriate to determine which methods best match a person�s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts plans as progress or circumstances change.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care when life demands change, while allowing therapists to tailor the format and pace to each client's situation.
