Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online care

Tammy often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting each person where they are. This approach helps clients explore their values and choices while the therapist offers support and reflective feedback to promote self-directed growth.

She also incorporates mindfulness therapy, teaching simple attention and breathing practices that reduce overwhelm and increase present-moment awareness. Mindfulness techniques can be helpful for managing anxiety, stress, panic symptoms, and emotional reactivity in everyday life.

Motivational interviewing is another tool Tammy draws on to help people clarify ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change. This collaborative method is useful for making progress on career decisions, health goals, or behavior changes by building intrinsic motivation rather than using persuasion.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Tammy works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility to engage through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and access support from home or work. These options can increase consistency and make it simpler to use therapeutic tools between sessions under the guidance of a licensed professional.
