Remote sessions and therapeutic approaches
Tammy uses a blend of structured and person-centered methods when working remotely. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through collaborative goal-setting and practical exercises. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, often helpful when strong emotions or relationship strains are present.
Motivational Interviewing is offered to support clients who are weighing change, especially around substance use or health behaviors, by exploring ambivalence and strengthening personal motivation. Tammy emphasizes a collaborative fit: clients help set the pace and priorities, and sessions combine skill-building with empathic exploration. Remote formats available include video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different communication preferences and schedules.
