Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Tammi often draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, along with mindfulness techniques, to support people in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person from their own perspective and creating a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore what matters most; it is helpful for building self-awareness, confidence, and clearer life direction. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Mindfulness therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and simple practices that reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can benefit stress, grief, and burnout.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tammi works collaboratively with people to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds so therapy remains practical and relevant.

Online therapy with Tammi is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care from licensed professionals when travel or time constraints are a concern, and they allow therapy to be integrated more easily into everyday life.
