Approaches that guide online sessions
Tammy frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people recognize thinking patterns that feed anxiety, anger, or low mood. CBT focuses on practical steps to change thoughts and behaviors and often includes homework between sessions to build new habits.She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach simple awareness and grounding exercises. These practices help reduce reactivity, ease tense moments, and improve sleep and focus by training attention in the present.
Tammy views finding the right approach as a shared process. She works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level, and adapts techniques as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports shorter reflections between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy routines and stay connected when in-person visits are difficult.
