How Tammy's approaches work in online sessions
Tammy commonly uses Motivational Interviewing and Client-Centered Therapy to guide online work. Motivational Interviewing helps people weigh options and find internal reasons to change, which can be useful for issues like procrastination, substance concerns, or sticking to new habits. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel heard and can make sense of their own goals.
She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple techniques for calming anxiety and reducing reactivity. These practices are shown during sessions and then practiced between meetings to build steady coping skills.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Tammy collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. She helps set achievable steps and adjusts techniques as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is limited, and let people practice skills in their usual routines. Working remotely also lets therapists follow up on short-term goals and track progress across sessions. -
