Background and approach
She also helps people dealing with abandonment, control issues, and communication problems in close relationships.

Tami also assists people coping with self-harm urges and post-traumatic stress reactions. Her approach centers on the client’s story and strengths. She believes people already hold resources they can use, and she helps them notice and build on those resources.
Sessions focus on realistic goals, small changes, and practical tools rather than long lectures. Tami is licensed in Michigan as an LPC and conducts sessions in English. She aims to support and empower clients as they take the first steps toward change, offering steady guidance and real-world strategies to make daily life feel more manageable.

Approaches and how online therapy works
Tami uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach she often relies on teaches skills to manage anxiety and panic so people can reduce intense symptoms and regain daily functioning. Another common approach helps people process trauma and abuse by pacing memories and building coping skills to lessen their impact on current life. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with a client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Then the therapist and client pick or adapt techniques in a collaborative way so sessions match the client’s needs. Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet when in-person visits are hard. Video calls let people work face-to-face from a convenient location. Phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera or have limited bandwidth. Live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins, ongoing problem-solving, and easier scheduling during busy days. These online options make it easier to fit regular sessions into a life with work, childcare, or travel. Tami will help choose the format that best supports each person’s goals and comfort level.05Questions people ask
