Tammy Mayer , LPC

Tammy Mayer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with seven years of experience in the mental health field. She has practiced across a range of settings including residential programs, outpatient clinics, in-home services, and school-based environments, gaining experience with a wide spectrum of clinical concerns. Her path into counseling was shaped by a community recovery from an F-5 tornado, an experience that motivated her to return to school to gain the training needed to support others affected by trauma.

Tammy focuses on working with adolescents and young adults who face emotional and behavioral challenges such as anger, anxiety, depression, school-related difficulties, and mood instability. She emphasizes helping clients understand how their brains respond to stressors so they can learn skills to regulate feelings and behavior. Her style is warm and interactive, grounded in respect and the belief that a trusting therapeutic relationship is essential for meaningful progress.

She uses a range of interventions tailored to each person, including Trust-Based Relational Interventions (TBRI), and designs strategies that fit individual needs when traditional approaches have not been effective. Tammy aims to make therapy engaging and collaborative, walking alongside young people as they work toward healing and improved well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Tammy draws from Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to inform her online work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape emotional patterns and helps clients build safer, more secure ways of relating; it can be especially useful for attachment issues and family or relationship concerns. CBT is a skills-oriented approach that helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice new ways of responding, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, and mood instability.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tammy collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts interventions over time so the plan reflects what is most helpful for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls or phone appointments, and additional support can be provided through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity of care across locations, and access licensed professionals and therapists without the need for travel.
