About Tammy
Tammy Franek is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 25 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, and career concerns. Tammy also supports clients facing depression, addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma and grief, and other life transitions.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. Tammy uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters to each person. She combines that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going.
In sessions she talks through immediate concerns and practical steps to test new ways of responding. That might mean trying short behavior changes between meetings or practicing different ways to raise hard issues with others. She keeps sessions clear and action-oriented when that fits the client’s goals.
Tammy draws on a long career to help people manage strong feelings like anger without judgment. She also addresses related concerns such as sleep, eating, impulsivity, caregiver stress, and loneliness. The work often mixes listening, skill practice, and planning for concrete next steps.
People who reach out can expect a direct style that balances support with practical tools. Tammy asks about current challenges, goals, and what has or hasn’t helped before creating a plan. The emphasis is on usable skills and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. Online sessions using this approach give space for someone to describe triggers, recent incidents, and what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and offers concrete techniques. CBT work online can include homework, thought records, and brief skill practices between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tammy will work with the client to decide whether more listening and validation or more structured CBT exercises will serve their goals. That decision is made together based on current challenges, preferred pace, and what the client wants to focus on first.
The practical benefit of online sessions is fitting work into daily life. Clients can arrange meetings around work or caregiving commitments and try brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Because session formats are not detailed in the biography, confirm the exact online options before booking. This helps make sure the chosen rhythm of meetings and the practical setup match the client’s needs and routines.
