About Tammy
Dr. Tammy Freeman is a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 21 years in behavioral health. She helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and life changes. Her approach is warm and direct, aimed at helping people feel understood and move toward practical change.
She often begins by listening closely to what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on clear goals, building coping skills, and understanding patterns that get in the way. Dr. Freeman draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the client's perspective central during work together.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments that can change feelings and behavior. Psychodynamic ideas are used at times to look at how past experiences influence current reactions. Solution-Focused Therapy supports short-term planning and practical next steps when people want fast, actionable changes.
Dr. Freeman has worked in hospitals, non-profit agencies, and private practice. That variety informs a pragmatic style that values real-world results and steady personal growth. She emphasizes helping people recognize their strengths and take manageable steps toward their goals.
People who meet with her can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk through hard topics. She aims to help clients define what a better life or more satisfying relationships would look like, then work toward those changes at a comfortable pace.
How these approaches work for online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the client's perspective and building a trusting relationship. In this approach the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients identify their own goals and values. It is useful for people who need a compassionate space to sort out feelings and life choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavioral changes to see what works. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and practical coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining listening-focused client-centered work with skill-based CBT or occasional psychodynamic reflection to understand longer-term patterns.
