Therapy with Tammy is collaborative. She and the person she sees make a plan together, try strategies, and adjust as needed. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a core method she uses to help people reframe unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.

How CBT and Collaborative Care Work Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying small behavior changes to see what helps. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress related to health or work.

When applying CBT to chronic pain or illness, sessions break big problems into manageable steps. That can include pacing activities, tracking mood and pain patterns, and rehearsing new ways to handle setbacks. The goal is to increase helpful routines and reduce patterns that make symptoms feel worse.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk through options, try methods, and adjust based on what the person finds useful. That collaborative process helps match techniques to each person’s goals and daily life.

If you are interested in online work, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also help people stay connected to care when health issues or work demands make in-person visits difficult.
