Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take committed action toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often useful for motivation, life changes, and managing anxiety that shows up with phobias or OCD patterns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is commonly used for anxiety, phobias, obsessions, and workplace stress to create clear behavior changes.
Tammy treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they select or blend methods so sessions match the issue and the client’s style.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video works well for deeper conversations and real-time interaction. Phone can be lower bandwidth and easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, focused exchanges for coaching-style work.
These options allow continuity of care when schedules are tight or when traveling. Tammy uses these formats to keep therapy practical and goal-oriented while adapting to each person’s needs.
