About Tammi
Tammi Rider is a licensed clinical social worker with thirty years of practice in mental health. She uses a direct, person-focused approach to help people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and life transitions. Tammi aims to give practical tools people can use right away.
Her work covers a wide variety of concerns including depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and parenting challenges. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, intimacy issues, self-esteem, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Tammi draws on a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. In sessions she emphasizes listening first, then collaborating on small, realistic steps. That might mean practicing mindfulness exercises, learning concrete coping skills, or trying behavioral changes between sessions.
She focuses on what will help someone feel steadier and more in control of daily life. Tammi's background includes inpatient and outpatient treatment, independent practice, school settings, home health, and hospice work. That range shaped her ability to work with practical, everyday problems as well as deeper emotional concerns.
Her experience also informs how she supports people through recovery from substance use and trauma. People who come to Tammi usually leave with clear techniques they can repeat on their own. She explains ideas plainly and helps set achievable goals.
The goal is steady progress, not quick fixes, so people learn to manage emotions like anger and anxiety more effectively over time.

Approach-driven care delivered online
Client-centered therapy focuses on meeting each person where they are. The therapist listens closely and helps people make decisions that match their values and goals. This approach is useful for anyone who wants a supportive space to sort out feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and to build new, healthier habits. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress management.
Mindfulness therapy adds simple attention and breathing practices to help reduce reactivity. Those exercises can make it easier to notice triggers and choose different responses to anger and stress.
Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick approaches that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying ideas in session and adjusting them as progress is tracked.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and exercises; phone can be a quick check-in or useful when bandwidth is limited. Chat and messaging let people share between sessions and get short, focused support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping focus on the therapeutic goals.
