01About Tammy
Tammy Barbati is a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania who brings 21 years of experience to her practice. She focuses on helping people build self-esteem, handle career challenges, and cope with major life changes. Her style is warm and person-centered, with an emphasis on listening and supporting each person's strengths.
She favors conversations led by the client and uses goal-setting to map a path forward. Sessions often start with small, manageable steps so progress feels possible.
Background and approach
Tammy emphasizes acknowledging anxiety, fear, or guilt as normal parts of change and works with people to use those feelings productively. Career coaching and workplace issues are part of her background, so she can help with job transitions, motivation, and performance concerns. She also addresses addictions, trauma and abuse, and struggles common to young adults.
Additional focuses include avoidant personality traits, jealousy, obsessions and compulsions, phobias, and seasonal mood shifts. Tammy draws on several evidence-based approaches to guide her work. She incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas along with a client-centered stance and solution-focused planning.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques are used when relationships or strong emotions are a central concern. Her practical aim is to help people gain awareness of what matters to them and build daily steps toward those goals. She encourages realistic expectations and celebrates small wins so change feels achievable rather than overwhelming.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online change and coping
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take small actions that matter to them. It focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, which can be useful for low motivation, anxiety about change, or coping with loss. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It often helps with obsessive thoughts, phobias, and problems that respond to step-by-step practice.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tammy will work together with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and everyday life. She often combines strategies and adjusts the plan as progress is made so therapy stays focused and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video lets people maintain face-to-face conversation when that helps, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick coaching-style support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep continuity and apply new skills between sessions.
