Dr. Tammy Freeman , LPC, LMHC

Dr. Tammy Freeman, LPC, LMHC brings over two decades of experience in behavioral healthcare to her counseling practice. She approaches therapeutic work with warmth and a steady commitment to helping people grow, change, and reclaim a sense of purpose in their lives.

Her professional path began in elementary education and an English literature background, and those early years in the classroom shaped a lifelong interest in listening, teaching, and supporting development. Life events and relationships guided her toward counseling, where she found a vocation that asks practitioners to develop alongside the people they serve. She views counseling as an ongoing gift - a place to learn skills, find new perspectives, and practice self-compassion.

Dr. Freeman has worked in hospital settings, non-profit agencies, and private practice, and she draws on that varied experience when supporting clients through stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem and identity issues, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting challenges, career transitions, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and other life changes. She aims to create a calm space where clients can breathe, reflect, and explore what happiness and purpose mean to them. She welcomes inquiries from those ready to begin that process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Dr. Tammy Freeman integrates several evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client is seen as the expert on their own life; this approach helps people build self-awareness, self-esteem, and trust in their choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, emphasizes identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and relationship patterns influence present feelings and behavior, which can help with deeper emotional patterns and relationship issues.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Dr. Freeman and the client work together to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and they adjust methods as progress unfolds. The therapeutic relationship guides which tools and strategies are emphasized.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging, allowing clients to connect in ways that fit their schedules and comfort levels. For many people, remote options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods, life changes, or when in-person visits are not feasible.
