About Tammy
Dr. Tammy Freeman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 21 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, depression, and the strain of life changes. She also supports those facing addiction, grief, trauma, parenting challenges, and compassion fatigue.
Her style is straightforward and relational. She listens first, then helps people identify practical steps they can try between sessions. Conversations are down-to-earth and focused on what is happening now and what can change next. Sessions often include exploring thoughts and beliefs, practicing new behaviors, and reviewing what worked.
Dr. Freeman uses a mix of approaches to fit the problem at hand. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding the client's perspective. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at longer-standing patterns and on solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals.
Her background includes work in hospitals, nonprofit agencies, and private practice. Earlier in her career she taught elementary school, a period that shaped her interest in practical learning and clear explanations. She brings that same plain-speaking approach to sessions now.
People who meet with Dr. Freeman can expect a calm, conversational style and a focus on concrete steps. She invites clients to describe what a better day looks like, then helps map out reachable changes toward that goal.
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Freeman often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often practical and task-focused, which can work well in remote sessions when people want clear skills to practice between meetings.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and understanding a person's perspective. That approach supports a collaborative conversation about goals and next steps, whether in person or online.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past, and then suggest whether CBT, client-centered conversations, psychodynamic reflection, or solution-focused steps make the most sense. Decisions are made together and can shift as needs change.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm which online options are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Those practical benefits can help people test tools and routines in their everyday life without having to rearrange a full day.
