About
Tammy Foster is a California-based licensed clinical social worker with 22 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. Early in her private practice she served as an addiction specialist, interventionist, and counselor for about 6.5 years, and she also worked as the administrator for an adolescent treatment center in Northern California.
Over her career she has assisted individuals facing depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, career and relationship concerns, parenting and marital difficulties, major life transitions, social skills challenges, grief and loss, substance use issues, and sex addiction. She also brings substantial clinical knowledge of codependency and attachment theory, approaches that have been described as life-changing by hundreds of people she has worked with.
Her counseling style is warm and interactive, and she combines a person-centered, strength-based foundation with practical techniques from motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral therapy, family systems work, and mindfulness-based counseling. Tammy views her work as a calling and is dedicated to helping people create a healthier, happier version of themselves.
She has guided hundreds of clients through very difficult periods and focuses on helping individuals reconnect with their inner strengths so they can move toward greater freedom and harmony. Tammy looks forward to walking alongside clients as they make meaningful changes in their lives.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?
Many people wonder whether remote sessions can make a real difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions. A major benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that fits their life, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That adaptability makes it easier to maintain continuity of care when schedules, travel, or other demands change. Therapists offering remote care are licensed professionals, and clients may choose to switch providers at any time if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. For many people, online therapy offers an accessible, effective path to addressing everyday mental health and relationship concerns.How much experience does Tammy Foster have?
