About Tammy
Tammy Quarles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, career questions, parenting and major life changes, and she lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas. Tammy centers sessions on the person in front of her and helps them find practical ways to move forward.
She uses a client-centered way of working that starts with the client’s strengths. Tammy listens for what’s already working and helps build on those skills. She mixes in mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to create short, practical steps people can try between sessions.
Her background includes two decades of supporting adults through grief, caregiver strain, and vocational transitions. Tammy often helps with panic attacks, postpartum challenges, body image concerns, and issues like guilt, shame, and control. She also addresses life-purpose questions and financial stress when those come up.
Sessions tend to focus on small, realistic changes rather than long abstract plans. Tammy often uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify goals and stay motivated. She encourages straightforward strategies for coping with anxiety and impulsivity and for strengthening self-care after caregiver or first responder stress.
People who prefer clear steps and a listening approach may find her style helpful. Her practice aims to support steady progress on everyday problems and to help people develop tools they can use when life gets hard.
How Tammy uses collaborative approaches in online work
Tammy commonly draws from client-centered therapy and solution-focused therapy when working with people online. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead so the person feels understood and can identify their own goals. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and what can be done differently right away to make daily life easier.She also uses elements of motivational interviewing to help people clarify motivation and set realistic next steps. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Tammy works with each person to find methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing one way of working.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let someone use a phone-only meeting when bandwidth is limited or choose a video session for more visual interaction. The therapist will discuss which setup fits best when arranging the first session.
