About Tammy
Dr. Tammy Freeman is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, practicing in New Jersey with 21 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship concerns, parenting strains, and life transitions. She also supports people facing trauma, grief, substance issues, and career or identity questions.
Her style is straightforward and human. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. She listens for what matters most and then helps clients try changes that fit their daily life. Conversations are direct and respectful, with room to reflect on deeper patterns when helpful.
Dr. Freeman draws from client-centered work to keep the client's perspective central. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. She also brings psychodynamic thinking to examine recurring relationships and solution-focused methods to build short-term gains. Those approaches are used in service of the client's goals rather than as rigid rules.
Her background includes time in hospitals, non-profit agencies, and private practice. That range informs how she manages practical problems and emotional concerns. She often works with people who have served in the armed forces or as first responders, and with those experiencing caregiver stress or blended family issues.
People who prefer clear steps and honest conversation may find this approach useful. To begin, the process involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session so goals can be set and an initial plan discussed.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's priorities. It helps when someone needs a steady, respectful space to name what matters and set personal goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online work can use CBT to test small behavior changes and track what helps with anger, anxiety, or mood shifts.
Psychodynamic ideas pay attention to recurring patterns in relationships and emotional life. When someone wants to understand why certain reactions keep happening, this approach can open that history in measured steps.
Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick approaches that match their goals, preferences, and the kinds of problems they bring. That choice can change over time as progress is reviewed.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or a busy schedule. Video can allow for face-to-face conversation, while phone may be simpler when bandwidth or quieter surroundings are needed. These practical choices are discussed when arranging the first appointments.
