About Tammy
Tammy Threatts is a licensed clinical social worker who helps adults facing anxiety, stress, depression, relationship strain, and phobias. She speaks plainly and focuses on real goals you can notice between sessions. Her approach is practical and steady, aimed at helping people manage symptoms and move forward.
Tammy brings 26 years of social work experience from Louisiana to her sessions. She uses methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to address day-to-day worries.
Background and approach
She also draws on narrative and trauma-focused ideas when past events continue to cause distress. In therapy she helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of coping. She uses short, doable strategies for sleeping problems, anger, and mood concerns.
For issues like obsessive thoughts, paranoia, or seasonal shifts in mood, she works on specific habits and routines. Tammy pays attention to how culture, identity, and life transitions affect wellbeing. She addresses feelings like guilt, shame, isolation, and jealousy with direct conversation and practical steps.
She also offers support around parenting stresses and career-related strain. People who have experienced trauma or military-related concerns will find trauma-focused methods available when those past events are part of the problem. Tammy aims to help people build clearer stories about their lives and safer ways of coping.
Her sessions are intended to be collaborative and goal-oriented.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Tammy often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT focuses on small, practical changes that can reduce anxiety, phobias, and mood symptoms over time.She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. Mindfulness helps people calm racing thoughts, improve sleep, and manage stress in daily life.
Narrative therapy is used when stories about the past shape current reactions. This approach helps people reorganize those stories and find new meanings that support healthier choices.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Tammy will talk with each person about needs, goals, and personal preferences, and together they decide which methods to try. That collaborative decision can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls work well for fuller conversations, phone can be easier with lower bandwidth, short check-ins suit live chat, and text messaging allows ongoing notes and support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
