About Tammara
Tammara Rood is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship struggles, parenting problems, and grief. She brings 14 years of clinical experience and focuses on practical steps that clients can use between sessions. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what feels hard.
Conversations focus on clear goals, coping skills, and small behavior changes that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
She encourages clients to notice patterns and try new habits one step at a time. Tammara uses a mix of approaches depending on what a person needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to challenge unhelpful thoughts and on acceptance strategies to help people live by their values.
Attachment-oriented work helps address wounds from close relationships and improve communication. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She listens first, then suggests tools and practices a client can try between meetings.
Sessions often include skill-building, problem solving, and time to process difficult emotions. Based in New York, she works with adults facing life changes, mood disorders, trauma, substance concerns, and caregiving stress. The focus is on realistic plans clients can use in real life.
Tammara supports people who want clearer thinking, steadier moods, and better day-to-day functioning.
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to commit to actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thought patterns and teaches practical skills to change behavior and mood, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy addresses patterns in close relationships and supports people in building healthier ways of connecting and communicating.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with clients to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted over time as progress becomes clearer.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and longer work on skills. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit shorter conversations into a busy day and to keep momentum between sessions. These options make it simpler to use therapeutic tools consistently while juggling work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
