Dr. Tammy Freeman , LPC, LMHC

Dr. Tammy Freeman is a licensed counselor with 21 years of clinical experience. She holds LPC and LMHC credentials - Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor - and has supported people across hospital settings, non-profit agencies, and private practice. Her career combines formal training with a long-standing commitment to helping others navigate complex life challenges.

Early in her professional life she worked as an elementary school teacher and studied English literature, but continuing life experiences gradually redirected her toward counseling. Those shifts shaped a therapeutic style that values personal growth, resilience, and the search for meaning. She approaches each person as someone with inherent worth and potential rather than a list of symptoms.

Dr. Freeman aims to create a space where clients can learn, grow, and sometimes simply pause to breathe and put themselves first. She believes happiness looks different for everyone and often works with people who want to clarify their own definition of wellbeing. Her practice addresses concerns such as stress and anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, self-esteem and depression, coping with life changes, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting and intimacy-related issues, career challenges, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue, among other areas.

Her work blends empathy with practical strategies to help clients move toward their goals while honoring each person’s unique path and pace.

Therapeutic approaches and online counseling options

Dr. Tammy Freeman draws from a few complementary approaches to guide online work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and respect for the client’s perspective; it helps people build self-awareness, confidence, and a clearer sense of their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns. Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and relationship dynamics shape current feelings and reactions, which can be useful for understanding deeper patterns in relationships, trauma responses, and recurring emotional themes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is determined collaboratively. Dr. Freeman works with each person to select and adapt methods based on individual needs, goals, and preferences, and licensed professionals can blend techniques as progress unfolds.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow therapy to fit into busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and choose the communication style that best supports personal progress.
