01About Tammy
Dr. Tammy Sutterfield offers calm, direct support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and big life changes. She practices as an LPC and brings 12 years of experience helping individuals manage depression, trauma, addictions, and intimacy-related concerns.
Her style is down-to-earth and practical, aimed at making daily life feel more manageable. Tammy listens for what matters most to each person and tailors sessions around those priorities. She uses approaches that focus on emotions, relationships, and body-based trauma work.
Background and approach
That can mean learning new ways to notice feelings, changing patterns in close relationships, or using trauma-focused tools to reduce intense memories. Her background includes graduate study in clinical psychology and behavioral health plus years working with people in nontraditional sexual communities. That experience informs respectful, nonjudgmental care for individuals exploring kink, BDSM, polyamory, and other relationship arrangements.
She also supports people coping with chronic illness, cancer, caregiver stress, aging issues, and process addictions like gambling or problematic pornography use. Sessions address practical coping skills, motivation, and ways to reconnect with what matters. Tammy offers work grounded in mindfulness and motivational interviewing alongside attachment-focused and emotionally focused methods.
Those tools help people reduce anxiety, build stronger connections, and manage challenging memories tied to trauma or abuse. Sessions are offered in English and take place via video, phone, chat, or text-based messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire, then schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

04Online support
How attachment work and trauma therapy translate online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how close relationships shape emotions and behavior. Online sessions use conversation and exercises to identify patterns in relationships and practice new ways of connecting that reduce anxiety and improve trust.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and changing emotional responses in key relationships. In virtual sessions the therapist helps people name difficult feelings, shift unhelpful interaction cycles, and practice responses that create more stable bonds.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps reduce the intensity of upsetting memories. When used online, the therapist guides clients through structured processing and calming techniques to make memories less overwhelming.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and the problem at hand, then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as needs change.
Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of ways to connect. Video calls approximate an in-person session and let the therapist and client see each other. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break from work. Live chat or text-based messaging can serve as brief check-ins, support between sessions, or an alternative when typing feels more comfortable.
