Online session options
How Narrative and Practical Methods Work Online
Tammera commonly draws on Narrative Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and separate problems from identity, which can reduce shame and open new options. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and collaborating so clients feel heard and decide the direction of work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses small experiments to change patterns that cause distress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tammera discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts methods over time. Together the client and therapist try different strategies and pick what feels most useful for the situation and pace of change desired.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied needs. Video lets people work face-to-face when a deeper conversation is wanted. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can fit shorter coaching moments, quick check-ins, or when a written record of thoughts helps with reflection. These options support flexibility for work schedules, caregiving, or managing appointments.
