Tammy Person is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 15 years of experience as a psychotherapist. She greets people with warmth and a straightforward offer of support for making meaningful change. Tammy aims to make first steps feel less scary and more manageable for anyone who reaches out.

Background and approach
Her scope includes a broad range of family and caregiving stresses and transitions. Her counseling draws on cognitive behavioral ideas paired with client-centered and mindfulness practices. Sessions are focused on building practical skills, clarifying goals, and testing small changes between meetings.
Tammy creates a space where thoughts and feelings can be shared openly and calmly. She uses narrative and acceptance-based techniques to help people reframe difficult stories and live by their values when life feels overwhelming. The work balances validation with gentle challenge to help clients try new ways of coping.
Tammy aims for clear strategies clients can use outside of sessions. People who want both support and active skill-building tend to fit her style best. Tammy invites curious, motivated people to explore what matters to them and to practice steps toward those goals together.
How Tammy’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps toward those values even when feelings are strong. It can help with anxiety, stress, grief, and life transitions by shifting focus from avoiding discomfort to building a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and many day-to-day problems. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on your experience, offering nonjudgmental listening and reflection to help you find your own solutions; this approach supports people who need validation while they explore change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tammy will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try methods collaboratively. She adjusts the balance of skills training, mindfulness, and reflective listening based on how someone responds and what they want to achieve.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for face-to-face dialogue and skill practice, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging lets people check in between sessions or use shorter, convenient check-ins. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent when life is busy or travel is difficult.
