About Tammara
Her approach is straightforward and compassionate. She listens first, then helps clients set clear goals. Sessions often involve talking through current problems, learning coping skills, and trying small changes that fit day-to-day life.
Tammara has worked with people experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, addictions, and eating or sleeping concerns. She also supports those dealing with trauma, grief, relationship strain, and career stress. She pays attention to how past family patterns affect present choices.
She uses a mix of methods to match each person's needs. That can mean focusing on emotions in the moment, practicing mindful awareness, or using structured techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. For trauma, she includes approaches designed to process painful memories.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Clients can expect clear explanations, simple tools to try between meetings, and adjustments as needs change. People looking for help with midlife transitions, coping with loss, or rebuilding after setbacks may find her practical style useful.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. It helps when someone needs a calm, nonjudgmental space to make sense of feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers clear exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and shift strong emotional patterns that affect relationships and personal well-being.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods. Together they try approaches and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking. Many people prefer online sessions because they fit into busy days and remove travel time. Online work can make regular check-ins easier, allow shorter mood-focused visits when needed, and let clients try therapeutic exercises with coaching in real time. If needed, sessions can be adjusted to match attention span, tech limits, or the need for a quicker phone check-in rather than a longer meeting.
