Online support

Approaches for meaning, choices, and everyday skills online

Existential Therapy invites people to look at life meaning, values, and the choices that shape their days. It can help when someone feels stuck, faces big transitions, or wants clearer priorities. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and a respectful relationship so a person feels heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. Tammi will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust approaches over time. That way the plan matches a person's needs and preferences rather than being fixed from the start.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and stay face to face when schedules or distance make in-person visits difficult. Phone sessions work well when internet bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, coaching between meetings, or for people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while exploring meaning, building skills, and working toward change.
