About Tammy
Tammy White is a New Mexico Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of professional experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, or life changes. Tammy also works with concerns tied to trauma, substance use, sleep and eating problems, and relationship or family strain.
Tammy keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens first and then offers ways to manage strong emotions and recurring patterns. Conversations often include skills for handling day-to-day triggers, steps to reduce intense reactions, and ways to rebuild connection after conflict.
Her practice draws on client-centered work that focuses on each person’s perspective. Tammy also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thoughts and DBT-informed tools for managing emotional ups and downs. For people processing traumatic memories, she may use EMDR as one of several options.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Tammy helps set small, achievable steps between meetings, and she reviews progress regularly. She aims for clear plans people can try at home and at work, not abstract theory.
Many people come for help with parenting stresses, workplace frustration, or anger that shows up toward loved ones. Tammy also supports those facing identity or purpose questions, feelings of isolation, and mood disorder symptoms. If someone wants to explore next steps, she asks about practical goals and what has worked or not worked in the past.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Client-centered therapy places the person’s experience at the center of sessions and focuses on understanding how they see their problems. This approach helps people who need a listening space to sort through feelings and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is useful for addressing anxiety, anger-related thinking patterns, low mood, and unhelpful habits by teaching concrete techniques to test and change thoughts.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, supplies practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills are often used when emotions escalate quickly or when someone wants better ways to respond in heated moments.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past attempts, and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are made as progress is reviewed so the plan stays relevant.
Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats were not specified in the original profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when time is limited. Therapists can also suggest usable at-home exercises and skills to practice between meetings to reinforce what was covered in session.
