How Tami blends methods for online work

Tami draws on Mindfulness Therapy to help people slow down, notice bodily and mental signals, and build simple present-moment practices that reduce reactivity. This approach can be useful for anxiety, stress, and managing strong emotions.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy which emphasizes listening, respect, and following the person’s lead so goals and pace come from the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used when people want concrete strategies to change thought patterns and behavior, such as for depression or worry.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Tami discusses options with each person and together they decide which methods fit the client’s needs, goals, and comfort. She adapts methods over time if a different focus would help more.

Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are set by the practice. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and providing flexibility for appointments around work or caregiving. Many people find phone or video sessions help them practice skills in real situations and keep progress moving forward without changing their routine.
