Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Tami Brugman uses several evidence-informed approaches to help clients explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and learning practical ways to act in alignment with those values while managing difficult thoughts and emotions - it is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, giving clients a safe space to be heard and to develop their own insights and strengths, which can support work on relationships, self-esteem, and coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills to shift those patterns, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and problem-solving.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tami works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts her techniques over time as goals evolve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility, allowing clients to meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from different locations.
