About Tammy
Tammy White is a licensed clinical social worker in New Mexico who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and phobias. She draws on 14 years of practice to guide people through grief, addiction concerns, relationship strain, and life transitions. Tammy uses clear, practical steps and steady support to make starting therapy feel less daunting.
Her approach begins with building trust so people can say what is hard to share.
Background and approach
She listens closely and centers each session on the person's goals. Tammy blends client-centered work with focused tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. When trauma or painful memories are part of the story, Tammy uses EMDR techniques alongside mindfulness-based strategies to reduce distress and increase present-moment coping.
She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills when strong emotions and relationship patterns get in the way of daily life. Sessions are practical and conversational. People can expect simple exercises, targeted skill-building, and time to reflect on what is working.
Tammy helps clients break problems into manageable steps and practices new responses between sessions. She has experience supporting people with parenting stress, attachment concerns, eating and sleeping issues, ADHD, and questions about life purpose. Tammy offers a steady, nonjudgmental presence and focuses on helping people regain balance and move toward goals.
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. Online sessions let the therapist reflect back what matters most and prioritize the goals the person brings to therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change mood and reactions; that work moves well over video or phone when the therapist and client review examples and set practice tasks between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to help people process distressing memories and reduce their hold on daily life; parts of EMDR can be adapted to an online setting with clear step-by-step guidance from the therapist.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the person about symptoms, goals, and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. That decision is made together and can change as progress is tracked and needs shift.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill teaching and EMDR-type work. Phone sessions can be easier when cameras are not wanted, or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, brief skill coaching, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, caregiving schedule, or a period of transition while still receiving consistent support.
