About Tammy
Tammy Bissonnette is a licensed mental health counselor who centers work around each person's goals. She brings a decade of experience in behavioral health, including care in the drug and alcohol field, and has been licensed in New York as an LMHC for several years. Tammy aims to give people tools they can use outside sessions to feel better and move toward the life they want.
Her style is practical and goal-focused. Sessions emphasize small, doable steps and clear strategies rather than long lectures. Tammy listens for individual strengths and builds on them to address stress, anxiety, depressive moods, relationship strain, family conflict, and reactions to trauma and abuse.
In meetings she uses approaches such as cognitive behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and EMDR to guide the work. These methods are used to change unhelpful patterns, strengthen motivation for change, and process distressing memories as needed. Tammy frames these tools around each person’s goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
She describes therapy as a collaborative process. Clients can expect a warm, direct style and practical exercises to try between sessions. The aim is to help people notice progress, build coping skills, and feel more able to manage daily challenges.
Tammy works from New York and conducts work in English. People who want to begin are asked to use the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.
Practical approaches for online family and relationship concerns
Many of Tammy's methods are aimed at concrete changes you can notice. Cognitive behavior therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Motivational interviewing helps people clarify their goals and find their own reasons to make changes, which can be useful when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about a next step. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, is used to process troubling memories and reduce their emotional hold when trauma is involved.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tammy treats therapy as a collaboration and will help decide which techniques fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. Plans can shift as progress is made or new issues arise so the approach stays aligned with what the person wants to achieve.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when that suits your schedule, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively over distance while focusing on practical skills and steps you can apply between meetings.
