04Online support
How Tammy Applies Talk Therapy Online
Tammy draws from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, respect, and following the person’s lead to set goals and decide what matters most. It helps when someone needs support, validation, and a space to sort through feelings.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. Tammy uses CBT techniques to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try small behavior changes that can ease anxiety, depression, or anger.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Tammy will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks progress and adjusts the plan as work moves forward.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit into a lunch break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone prefers typing to talking. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life and to keep consistent momentum between sessions.
