How Tammy blends approaches in online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's concerns. It puts the client's priorities first and helps build trust and clarity about what to work on. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives clear strategies for changing patterns that fuel anxiety, anger, or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating stress when feelings run high.Tammy works with each person to decide which approaches fit best. She treats that choice as a collaborative process - discussing goals, trying ideas, and adjusting plans based on what helps. That way therapy stays focused on real, practical change rather than a fixed method.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video is useful for deeper conversations and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Messaging and chat allow shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or support between longer sessions. These options give flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or health needs while working on anger, stress, and related concerns.
