About Tami
Tami Brugman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 24 years of experience. She practices in Texas and has worked across community mental health and private practice settings. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, depression, ADHD, anger, grief, parenting strain, and other life changes.
Her approach is practical and client-centered. She listens first, then uses tools that fit a person’s situation. She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to help people notice patterns and try different responses. She also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify values and commit to small, doable steps.
Tami pays attention to the connection between body and mind. She is pursuing a PhD in Applied Psychophysiology to better understand that link and to bring physiologically informed tools into therapy. She may use hypnotherapy and mindfulness strategies alongside talk therapy when those methods match a person’s goals.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on practical change. Typical work includes spotting unhelpful thoughts, practicing new ways to handle strong emotions like anger, and building routines for sleep, eating, and stress. She also supports people facing long-term health issues, caregiving stress, and the emotional fallout of separation or infidelity.
People who start here can expect a collaborative process. She helps set clear goals, tries methods that fit the individual, and checks progress as therapy continues. International clients are accepted and sessions are conducted in English.
How her approaches inform online work
Tami commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, consistent actions that align with those values while learning to live with difficult feelings. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, then tests new ways of thinking and acting to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.She also integrates client-centered listening and mindfulness techniques to help people notice bodily signals and emotional patterns. The therapist treats choosing the right mix of approaches as a collaborative process. Together they review goals, try methods that fit the person, and adjust course based on what helps most.
The original profile did not name which session formats are offered, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can still be practical: shorter check-ins can fit a busy workday, video or phone sessions can allow therapy without commuting, and techniques like guided mindfulness or behavioral experiments translate well to remote sessions. Licensed professionals can help make sessions fit around everyday life while testing approaches that suit a person’s goals.
