About Tammara
Tammara Rood is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and issues with motivation and self-esteem. She works with clients facing trauma, grief, addiction concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and intimacy or sleeping difficulties. Her first priority is creating a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters to them.
With 14 years of experience, she focuses on practical steps that fit into everyday life. Sessions emphasize clear goals, honest conversation, and small changes that add up. She listens for each person’s strengths and tailors support to match what they want to achieve.
Tammara uses a mix of approaches to guide the work. She draws on Motivational Interviewing to build readiness for change and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Attachment-based ideas help when patterns from past relationships affect present connections.
Her style is warm and direct. She helps clients name what’s getting in the way and tries simple experiments between sessions to test new ways of coping. She also supports parents working through blended family issues, caregiver stress, and communication patterns that wear people down.
People in New York seeking steady, practical support will find an approach focused on collaboration and real-life solutions. Tammara encourages small steps toward clearer priorities, better boundaries, and more reliable routines.

How different approaches can work online
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change by exploring goals and ambivalence in a respectful way; it often helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on identifying personal values and learning to act in line with them, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people try new ways of relating to others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods so they fit the client’s needs. Clients often try one idea for a few sessions and then refine the plan based on what helps.
Confirm current session options before booking to know which online formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people work on skills at home between meetings. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver the same kinds of collaborative, goal-focused work that would happen in person. -
