How Tammy’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Many of Tammy’s methods are straightforward to use in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. It suits people who want concrete tools and skills to try between appointments.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational way to strengthen someone’s own reasons for change. It helps when someone feels stuck about addiction, health behaviors, or making a life transition.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Tammy aims to collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, pace, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans based on what is or isn’t working.
If you’re considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking since formats can vary. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let people use methods like CBT worksheets and motivational conversations in a way that fits daily life.
