Background and approach
Tammie adapts her pacing so people can try new skills without feeling rushed. She also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction-related struggles, career stress, and coping with major life changes. Clients may work on communication habits, managing emotions like anger, and rebuilding self-esteem.
Practical steps and small behavior changes are common parts of the work. Tammie has experience addressing trauma, attachment challenges, and caregiving strain. She supports people dealing with chronic illness, body image and eating concerns, and complicated grief.
The goal is to reduce unhelpful patterns and increase what matters most to the person. Sessions are offered in English and she practices in Missouri while also working with international clients. She will tailor conversations and the plan of care to each persons situation and preferences, and encourages realistic goals that fit daily life.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions that matter. It can help when people feel stuck, overwhelmed by anxiety, or pulled away from what they want in life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical steps to change unhelpful habits and manage mood. Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day routines to choose or blend methods that fit. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as progress is tracked and needs change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to stay connected. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared materials. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, reminders, and ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
