Tammie Ervin , LCSW

Tammie Ervin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 25 years of clinical experience. The LCSW credential indicates advanced training in clinical social work and a license to provide psychotherapy and clinical services. She works with individuals facing anxiety, depression, losses, troubled relationships, trauma, declining health, and difficulty adjusting to life’s changes, helping them explore challenges and identify practical steps forward.

She aims to create a therapeutic space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed and examined without fear of judgment. Her approach emphasizes respect, empathy, and steady encouragement, recognizing that change often requires both courage and support. She helps clients build coping skills, develop insight, and regain a sense of balance when life feels overwhelming.

Tammie believes people have the capacity to change when they have the desire, support, and encouragement to do so. She frequently references a favorite line by Theodore Roosevelt: 'People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care,' as a guiding principle for the compassionate care she brings to her work.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care

In her practice Tammie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and trauma-aware support. One approach emphasizes skills-based cognitive and behavioral strategies that help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete techniques for managing anxiety, mood, and everyday stress. These strategies are useful for conditions such as anxiety, depression, and difficulty coping with life changes.

Another approach centers on trauma-informed work and development of coping skills, supporting clients as they process past harms and build resilience. This work helps people address relationship strain, grief, and the effects of trauma while developing safety and self-regulation strategies.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tammie works with each person to identify their goals, preferences, and strengths, and then tailors evidence-based techniques to fit those needs. She guides clients in selecting methods that feel most helpful and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to receive consistent support around their schedule and from their preferred location. These options make it easier to maintain momentum in therapy and to access licensed professionals when it is most convenient.
