How Tammi's Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person without judgment. Sessions aim to hear what matters to you and shape the work around your goals, which can help with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety, manage anger, and support recovery from addictive behaviors.

Mindfulness therapy uses attention and breathing practices to help people notice and ride out strong emotions. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and learning to respond differently to triggers.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to see what fits your needs, goals, and preferences. Together you can try methods and adjust them as you learn what helps most.
