About Tammy
Tammy uses a blend of trauma-informed, client-centered, cognitive behavioral, and narrative approaches to meet each person where they are. She focuses on helping individuals feel supported, encouraged, and validated while they learn strategies to manage emotions and address life challenges. Her practice is grounded in a strengths-based view - she believes people already have the capacity to make meaningful changes and works to amplify those resources.
As an LMHC - a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - Tammy emphasizes practical, collaborative work that honors each client’s unique history and needs. She strives to create a safe, supportive space tailored to individual experiences, offering perspective and encouragement when people need guidance through a difficult time.
Approach-Focused Care Delivered Online
Tammy Barnum integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and narrative therapy into her online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the client’s own goals and perspective, offering empathic listening and support to help people explore feelings and make choices that feel right for them. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies, often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Narrative therapy helps clients reframe and rewrite personal stories, separating problems from identity to create new meanings and possibilities.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Tammy collaborates with each person to determine which methods align best with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress unfolds. This collaborative planning helps ensure therapy feels relevant and empowering.
Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Licensed professionals and therapists can offer flexible scheduling, consistent support between sessions, and varied communication styles to suit different comfort levels and circumstances, increasing access to ongoing care and practical guidance.
