About Tammy

Tammy Threatts is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage anger, stress, and mood challenges. She brings 26 years of experience and a straightforward approach. Tammy communicates clearly and focuses on practical steps someone can use day to day.

Clients meet with her to sort through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship tension, parenting strain, sleep problems, and work stress. She also addresses issues like self-esteem, forgiveness, guilt, and feelings of isolation. Tammy pays attention to how past experiences shape present reactions and habits.

Her work often centers on identifying unhelpful thinking and building new coping habits. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches alongside mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and increase emotional awareness. Narrative techniques help people reframe their story and move past limiting beliefs.

Tammy has a long history of supporting survivors of abuse and trauma. She draws on trauma-focused methods to help people process painful memories at a pace that feels manageable. This often includes attention to safety, pacing, and concrete skills for calming strong emotions.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Tammy aims to help people leave with at least one useful idea they can try between meetings. Her Louisiana roots shape her direct and compassionate style, and she offers care in English.

How her approaches translate to online care

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It offers concrete exercises to reduce anger, anxiety, and depressive patterns and teaches problem-solving skills. Mindfulness therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and simple techniques for calming the body and mind; it can help lower reactivity and improve sleep and concentration. Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps create alternative, more empowering accounts that reduce shame and isolation.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Tammy will listen to your goals and try methods that match your needs, then adjust the plan as you move forward. The aim is to find techniques that fit your daily life and feel useful between sessions.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people appreciate online therapy because it can make regular appointments easier to fit into busy schedules, cut commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can let a person practice skills in the contexts where they live and work, helping apply new habits to real situations.
