Therapeutic approaches and online care with Tammy Franek

Tammy draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathic listening and supporting the client’s own goals. This approach helps people explore personal values, build self-awareness, and find strengths to address concerns such as stress, relationship challenges, or parenting pressures.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured method that helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT can be especially useful for managing anxiety, mood concerns, anger responses, and practical problem solving around career or daily stressors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tammy collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives - sessions by video call or phone and options for live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to connect when and where it works best. For many people, remote sessions increase accessibility and make it simpler to maintain continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists while navigating life’s demands.
