Tammy Frossard , LCPC

Tammy Frossard is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois with 15 years of professional experience. She has worked extensively with people coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, domestic violence, anxiety, depression, and anger management, drawing on evidence-based methods to support change and healing.

Tammy approaches counseling with the belief that therapy can benefit a wide range of individuals and that identifying and addressing areas that interfere with daily functioning is a constructive step. She emphasizes the courage required to seek help and the value of committing to personal growth. Her work often focuses on building practical skills, improving coping strategies, and fostering healthier relationships so clients can move toward clearer goals and improved well-being.

Known for a compassionate, straightforward style, Tammy aims to create a collaborative space where clients explore patterns, process difficult experiences, and develop tools to manage symptoms and life stressors. She frames therapy as a partnership that honors each personâs strengths while addressing challenges such as parenting strains, attachment and abandonment issues, or the effects of chronic pain and caregiver stress.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care

Tammy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and recovery. She often employs cognitive and skills-based strategies to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns, develop coping tools, and manage symptoms related to depression, anxiety, or anger. These approaches emphasize structured exercises and real-life practice to build resilience and improve day-to-day functioning.

For clients with histories of trauma and abuse, Tammy applies trauma-focused principles that prioritize pacing, safety, and processing difficult experiences in a steady, supportive way. When working with addictions or motivation-related concerns, she integrates goal-oriented methods that strengthen commitment to change and address triggers and relapse risk.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Tammy collaborates with clients to tailor methods based on individual needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds. She aims to create a flexible plan that fits each personâs circumstances.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer practical benefits for access and consistency. These formats allow clients to connect from home, fit sessions into busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change, while still working with licensed professionals to pursue meaningful change.
