Approaches that translate well to online work
Tammy often uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships; this approach helps with identity concerns, family of origin issues, adoption and foster care questions, and feelings of emptiness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another frequent tool she uses to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice behavior changes that reduce anxiety, depression, and anger. Motivational Interviewing supports people who are ambivalent about change by building motivation and clarifying next steps.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Tammy will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. She aims to be collaborative, checking in about what helps and adjusting the plan as you progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility that can fit a busy life. Video calls let you use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a simpler option with less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work for quick check-ins, brief problem-solving, or when writing helps you sort thoughts. These formats make it easier to schedule regular sessions and try different tools between meetings.
