About Tammy
Tammy Inselman is a LICSW - Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Washington with 13 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, parenting and relationship challenges. Tammy also addresses trauma, depression, grief, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and other life changes.
Tammy keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She helps people spot patterns in thinking and behavior that make anxiety and stress worse. Together they set clear, manageable goals and try approaches that can be put into everyday life. Sessions often focus on skills people can use between meetings to test what helps.
Her methods draw from cognitive behavioral ideas, solution-focused steps, motivational interviewing, and narrative work. That mix lets her work on changing unhelpful thoughts, building motivation for change, shifting short-term problems, and rethinking difficult personal stories. Tammy also pays attention to family dynamics, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and life stages when relevant.
She aims to identify strengths and supports clients already have, and to fold those into practical plans. Conversations may include making small experiments, practicing new responses to social situations, and revising plans based on what works. Tammy’s approach is collaborative and goal-oriented, with attention to real-world tasks.
Sessions are conducted in English and reflect issues common to adoption and foster care, aging, blended families, veteran concerns, money or financial stress, and pregnancy or childbirth. People who want to begin are asked to use the site tools to match and schedule a first session.
How Tammy uses practical approaches in online sessions
Many sessions draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxious responses. CBT is often used for worry, social anxiety, mood problems and managing everyday stress.Motivational interviewing focuses on building a person’s own reasons for change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to help someone resolve mixed feelings about making different choices, for example around substance use or starting new routines.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Tammy will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice happens collaboratively, adjusting techniques as progress and feedback guide the plan.
