How Tammy Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

Tammy often integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values, which can be useful for grief, relationship strain, or anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tammy collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time based on progress and what feels most helpful to the client.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins between appointments. Some people prefer shorter conversations by phone when they have limited bandwidth for a longer session, while others choose video when they want face-to-face interaction. Tammy will discuss practical arrangements when you schedule so sessions match your routine and goals.
