She uses a practical, person-focused style to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction.

Tammi emphasizes getting to know each person as an individual. Sessions tend to focus on concrete skills, coping strategies, and steps people can try between meetings. She combines listening with actionable ideas so clients leave with something to use right away.
Her stated approaches include client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), existential therapy, Jungian therapy, and mindfulness therapy. Those methods inform how she addresses topics like grief, parenting strain, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, and compassion fatigue.
People seeking help for career stress, ADHD, eating concerns, or life changes may find her practical focus helpful. Tammi works in Louisiana and conducts sessions in English. She welcomes inquiries from outside the United States as well.
Therapeutic approaches explained for online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in the room. The therapist offers empathic listening and supports the client's own goals, which can help with issues like low self esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It uses practical exercises and steps to change unhelpful patterns and can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. It is often paired with other approaches to help with trauma responses, coping with change, and ongoing stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That process may include trying different techniques and adjusting them as progress is made.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Online care can reduce travel time and make it simpler to check in between appointments.
