Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Tammy commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves. This approach looks at how events and labels shape identity and opens space for new meanings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify thoughts and behaviors that worsen mood and teaches concrete strategies to change them. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Tammy works with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and what feels helpful in early sessions. She adjusts tools over time based on what a client reports and what progress looks like, so therapy feels practical and focused.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflections, and ongoing contact between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the work collaborative and goal-oriented.
