About Tammy

Tammy Russell is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and challenges with self-esteem. Tammy aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what feels overwhelming.

She shapes sessions around each person's needs rather than applying one fixed plan. That can mean skill-building for anxiety, step-by-step work on motivation, or focused support after a painful event.

Background and approach

Tammy uses straightforward tools clients can try between sessions. Her approach blends client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She also draws on emotionally-focused ideas to help people better understand and shift painful emotional patterns.

Motivational interviewing is used when people want help finding reasons and momentum for change. Tammy works with a wide range of life challenges including relationship and intimacy issues, grief, compassion fatigue, career stress, mood concerns, and PTSD-related difficulties. She also addresses specific worries like panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, impulsivity, and codependency.

Sessions are offered in English and conducted online through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Tammy invites people to take the first step by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time to talk.

Online support

How Tammy’s Approaches Work Online

Tammy uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and shift painful emotional patterns and improve how they relate to their own feelings. This approach is useful when strong emotions get in the way of connection, self-soothing, or moving forward.

She also relies on client-centered therapy, which means sessions begin with careful listening and respect for each person's goals. That helps people feel heard and involved in shaping their plan. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or change behaviors.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. Tammy treats the choice of approach as collaborative and will help figure out what fits a person's needs, goals, and day-to-day life. Plans are adjusted as progress and preferences become clear.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues and deeper engagement. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or easier during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support, or when typing feels more comfortable than talking. These options let people fit therapy into work, caregiving, and travel routines while keeping continuity with their therapist.
