About Tammy
Tammy Mayer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with seven years of experience in the mental health field. She has worked in residential, outpatient, in-home, and school-based settings. Tammy draws on that background to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, mood instability, and ADHD-related challenges.
Her path into counseling began after a devastating F-5 tornado impacted her community. Seeing people struggle with trauma led her to return to school and pursue counseling work.
Background and approach
That experience continues to shape how she listens and responds to sudden loss, disaster-related stress, and post-traumatic concerns. Tammy tends to work with adolescents and young adults who are dealing with anger, school problems, anxiety, or unstable moods. She aims to build a trusting relationship first, then use practical strategies to help clients understand how their brain and body react to stress.
Her manner is warm and interactive and she emphasizes respect and connection in sessions. In sessions Tammy blends techniques from attachment-based approaches, cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness, and solution-focused work. She adapts interventions to each person rather than using one fixed plan.
That can include hands-on teaching, skill practice, and brief problem-solving steps. Tammy wants therapy to feel engaging and useful. She supports people as they learn new ways to manage emotions, improve relationships, and cope with life changes.
The goal is better day-to-day functioning and a clearer sense of direction.
Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit busy lives
Tammy often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavioral changes that can reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT is practical and focused on skills you can practice between sessions.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills are useful when moods shift rapidly or impulsivity becomes a problem. Attachment-based ideas help her notice how early relationships affect current patterns and guide work on trust and connection.
Tammy approaches finding the right mix of methods as a team effort. She talks with each person about goals, worries, and preferences, then suggests techniques to try. Together they track what works and adjust the plan over time so therapy fits the client's life and needs.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face when schedules allow. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a camera isn't wanted. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, skill coaching between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep momentum while fitting sessions around school, work, or family routines.
