Tammy Adams

Tammy Adams is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Kentucky who helps people facing anger, stress, anxiety, and related concerns. She brings 17 years of practice experience and a straightforward, empathetic approach. Tammy aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what feels overwhelming and learn practical ways to cope.

Tammy uses plain language in sessions and focuses on what will help now. She listens first and follows the person's lead about what to work on. Her style blends client-centered listening with practical tools drawn from cognitive and behavioral methods.

Her background includes work in inpatient and outpatient settings and time with the Cabinet for Families and Children. Tammy has worked with people from many walks of life, including veterans, people experiencing homelessness, and medically complex patients, across issues such as substance use, relationship strain, grief, PTSD, and anger concerns.

In sessions she tends to combine approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness with emotionally focused and dialectical strategies. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, build emotion skills, and practice new ways of responding when stress or anger flare.

Tammy aims to meet each person where they are and to move at a pace that feels manageable. She treats therapy as a collaborative process and helps people build skills they can use between sessions. If someone wants a practical, compassionate therapist who listens first, she may be a good fit.

Approaches you can use in online therapy

Tammy often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and following the client's goals, which helps people feel heard and respected. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal skills to manage strong reactions like anger.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Tammy works collaboratively to decide what methods fit best with a person's needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fit into a busy life and fewer barriers to attending sessions. Because the therapist's current session formats are not specified here, confirm available session options before booking. People often choose online sessions to save travel time, fit a check-in during a break, or use a format that requires less bandwidth or time. Licensed professionals can still teach and practice coping skills, thought work, and emotion regulation effectively through remote sessions.
