Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Tammy Curtis uses evidence-informed approaches to guide online therapy in clear, practical ways. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress, with tools for managing symptoms and building coping skills. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person's own reasons for change, using empathetic conversation to strengthen commitment and resolve when facing ambivalence, often useful for addictions, lifestyle shifts, or adherence to treatment. Narrative Therapy invites clients to separate themselves from painful experiences by exploring the stories they tell about their lives, which can be especially helpful for trauma, identity concerns, and relational issues.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tammy Curtis works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailors techniques so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model. This collaborative stance helps ensure a good match between method and the concerns at hand.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility, allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access therapy around work, family, or mobility limitations, and they provide multiple ways to maintain momentum between sessions while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
