Dr. Tammy Freeman

Dr. Tammy Freeman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 21 years in behavioral health. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship strain, addiction concerns, grief, and the push and pull of life changes. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping clients feel understood and more able to manage daily challenges.

She began her career as an elementary school teacher and moved into counseling after life events shifted her direction. That background shaped her patience and plainspoken approach. Clients can expect someone who listens closely and asks practical questions rather than jargon-filled lectures.

In sessions she draws on several methods to match what a person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and validating a person’s experience so they can find their own answers.

She has worked in hospitals, non-profit agencies, and private practice. That variety informs how she supports people through crises, transitions, and ongoing struggles. Dr. Freeman emphasizes small, doable steps that lead to clearer choices and less overwhelm.

Her work also touches on more specific concerns like caregiving stress, adoption and foster care issues, veteran and first responder stress, and problems with communication and control. She aims to help people notice what matters to them and move toward that life in realistic ways.

How her approaches guide online work

Dr. Freeman uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people online. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, acceptance, and helping individuals find their own goals and values. This approach can be useful when someone needs time and space to figure out what they want from life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, anger, and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed based on how things are going.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online work easier to fit into busy days, since it can remove travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. Other practical benefits include quieter check-ins when needed, or shorter sessions for focused skill practice. The emphasis is on making therapy workable for everyday life while tailoring methods to each person’s needs.
