About Tami

Tami Brugman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with licenses in both Texas and California and 24 years of experience in the mental health field. She has worked across community mental health settings and private practice, supporting individuals, couples, and families through challenges that range from everyday life adjustments to severe mental illness.

Brugman practices from a client-centered standpoint, meeting each person with compassion and tailoring care to the uniqueness of their situation. She emphasizes the connection between mind and body and is pursuing a PhD in Applied Psychophysiology at Saybrook University to deepen that clinical perspective. This training complements her use of a range of evidence-informed methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered techniques, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness-based approaches, applied according to each client’s needs.

Her working style centers on collaboration - bringing an array of therapeutic tools to help clients clarify goals and make progress. Brugman views therapy as a partnership and aims to walk alongside clients as they navigate stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, caregiving and health-related challenges, and other life transitions.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters to them and build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward meaningful goals. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, empathetic relationship in which the therapist listens without judgment and helps the client explore their own solutions and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to change them, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will monitor what helps and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, caregiving, or health conditions. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations and to choose the communication format that feels most comfortable, supporting continuity of care even when schedules or circumstances change.
