About Tammy
Tammy White is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Mexico with 14 years of professional experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, substance use concerns, relationship and family difficulties, and anger. Tammy also supports clients dealing with sleep and eating problems, low self-esteem, ADHD, and life changes.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. Sessions begin by talking about what feels most urgent and what a reasonable next step would look like. She uses straightforward listening and guided conversation to help people recognize patterns that keep them stuck and practice different responses to those patterns.
Tammy draws on several therapy methods to match the work to the individual. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to build rapport and DBT skills for emotion regulation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and test unhelpful thoughts, and EMDR can be offered for trauma-related memories when appropriate. Existential ideas may be used to address meaning, values, and life purpose.
In sessions she aims to reduce the barriers that get in the way of change. That may look like learning practical coping skills, doing focused thinking exercises, or working through painful memories with structured techniques. She has experience in both individual and group formats, and in helping people repair aspects of attachment and family problems.
People who prefer clear steps and honest conversation tend to find this approach useful. Tammy invites questions about how the work will proceed and what to expect in early sessions.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, listening-based relationship. In practice this means the therapist reflects what the client says, clarifies goals, and helps the client set achievable steps. It is useful for exploring relationship issues, family concerns, and feelings that feel stuck.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Online CBT sessions often include homework, thought records, and brief behavior experiments to try between meetings. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, anger patterns, and sleep or eating difficulties.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for regulating intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. In an online session this can look like teaching breathing and grounding techniques, practicing a short skills worksheet, and role-playing communication strategies for use at home or at work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals and preferences with the client and together decide which methods to emphasize. That collaborative choice can shift as progress is made or new issues arise.
If you plan to work online, please confirm the session formats available before booking. Confirming lets you choose a pacing and structure that fits daily life, such as shorter check-ins during a workday or longer sessions when deeper processing is needed.
