About Tammy
Tammy Horn is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor with 25 years of experience. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical next steps. Tammy keeps the first sessions simple and friendly to learn what matters most to each person.
Her style starts with a person-centered approach. Tammy listens to understand strengths, worries, and the specific challenges someone brings. From there she layers in strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral work and skills-based approaches to target symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related struggles.
Background and approach
Tammy uses short, clear plans in session and often gives brief exercises to try between meetings. These small tasks help uncover unhelpful thinking and build new habits. She also uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy when people need tools for emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Sessions are typically once weekly for 45 minutes, with options for brief check-ins during the first month or two to build momentum. Tammy describes therapy as a collaborative process where goals are set together and adjusted over time. She also brings experience with grief, addiction, intimacy and relationship concerns, parenting stress, caregiver strain, and workplace issues.
Tammy welcomes people who want guidance, a sounding board, or step-by-step plans to feel better and manage daily life more smoothly.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building trust. The therapist follows a person’s lead at first, helping them name what is working and what needs to change. This approach is useful when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental space to talk through concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. It gives practical steps and short exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related routines, and mood regulation.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, provides concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance. It’s often used when someone needs tools for emotional regulation and better coping during stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tammy will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most in real life.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a camera isn’t wanted. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, coaching-style guidance, or fitting support into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep consistent appointments and follow through on the practical tasks discussed in sessions.
