About
Tammy Murphy is a licensed psychotherapist based in California with over 20 years of clinical experience. She practices via teletherapy and works with motivated clients throughout the state.
Having shifted to online work several years ago, Tammy has found the virtual format to be highly effective and well suited to many people’s schedules. She notes that clients often value the convenience of meeting from home - whether that means being with beloved pets, enjoying a cup of coffee in a favorite chair, or checking in from a phone while on the go.
Her career has spanned private practice, county agencies, nonprofit organizations, school districts, and wilderness/adventure-based therapy programs, giving her a wide range of professional experience. Tammy approaches therapy with compassion, a non-judgmental stance, and an engaging manner, combining evidence-based techniques with a touch of humor.
As a California-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT license number 33418), Tammy believes it takes courage to reach out for support. She also believes many people already sense what changes would improve their lives - the work in therapy is identifying what gets in the way, learning new skills, and taking small, practical steps toward personal goals. Tammy looks forward to supporting clients in making that important investment in themselves.

How to Know If Online Therapy Is Right for You
For many common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life transitions - online therapy can be an effective alternative to traditional in-person sessions. Research and clinical experience indicate that for these issues, virtual therapy often matches the outcomes of face-to-face care.
One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can choose the format that fits their routines and comfort level - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to keep consistent appointments and integrate therapy into a busy life.
Another practical advantage is accessibility. Working with licensed professionals remotely broadens the pool of available therapists and can reduce barriers related to travel or scheduling. If the therapeutic match does not feel right, clients generally have the option to switch therapists to find a better fit.
Overall, online therapy offers a convenient way to get professional support while maintaining flexibility around day-to-day responsibilities, helping people reflect, reset, and move forward with their goals.
