Approaches Dr. Tammy Uses and Online Therapy Options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps clients learn to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and to take actions that align with their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to change them, often supporting work on anxiety, depression, and everyday coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and acceptance, giving space for clients to explore their experiences and discover their own solutions, which can support relationship concerns, grief, and self-esteem work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Tammy works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She adapts interventions and pacing based on what the client finds most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and receive consistent support from licensed professionals who tailor their methods to remote sessions.
