Tammy Mayer , LPC

Tammy Mayer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with seven years of experience in the mental health field. She holds licensure in both Oklahoma and Texas and has practiced across multiple settings, including residential programs, outpatient clinics, in-home services, and school-based environments, gaining broad experience with a range of clinical severity and presenting concerns.

Her commitment to counseling grew from a firsthand experience of community trauma after an F-5 tornado, when she saw children, adolescents, and adults struggling to name or process their trauma. That experience motivated her to return to school for a counseling degree and pursue licensure so she could provide meaningful help to people in crisis.

Tammy specializes in working with adolescents and young adults facing emotional and behavioral challenges such as anger, anxiety, depression, school-related difficulties, and mood instability. Her approach is warm and interactive, grounded in respect and the belief that a trusting relationship is essential for meaningful change. She emphasizes helping clients understand how stressors affect brain and behavior so they can gain greater control over feelings and actions.

As a Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) Practitioner, Tammy incorporates trust- and relationship-focused strategies when appropriate, and she draws from evidence-informed methods to design individualized interventions. She aims to make therapy engaging and collaborative, guiding clients toward healing and long-term well-being.

Attachment and Skills-Based Care Online

Tammy draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and emotional response. This approach helps clients and families understand attachment needs and strengthen relational skills that support recovery and resilience.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and to teach practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and mood instability. CBT focuses on skills that can be practiced between sessions to reduce distress and improve functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tammy works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts interventions over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy with Tammy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around school, work, and family life, and they allow ongoing support when in-person appointments are not possible. Working remotely can help maintain continuity of care while still using evidence-informed techniques guided by a licensed professional.
