Online support

Integrating therapy approaches for online work

Tammi uses Jungian Therapy to help people look at patterns and deeper personal themes that shape their feelings and choices. That perspective can help when someone wants to make sense of recurring struggles or find new meaning after loss or life change.

She also uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are. That approach helps build trust and allows goals to come from the client's own priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then try methods that fit. Changes are tested in small steps so people can see what works for them.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation; phone can work when bandwidth is limited; chat and text are useful for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work from different locations.
