About Tammy
Dr. Tammy Freeman is a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 21 years in behavioral health. She focuses on parenting concerns and a wide range of challenges parents often face, including stress, anxiety, grief, and struggles with self-esteem.
Her approach aims to help parents find practical ways to cope and make meaningful change in daily life. She uses clear, direct conversation to help people notice patterns that cause pain. Sessions often involve identifying small, doable steps that fit into a busy routine.
Background and approach
Dr. Freeman combines active listening with practical strategies so parents leave with something they can try between sessions. Her background includes work in hospitals, nonprofit agencies, and independent practice.
That mix of settings shaped a flexible style that adapts to different needs and life stages. She draws on over two decades of experience to support people through big transitions and ongoing stressors. Dr.
Freeman blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic ideas. She also uses solution-focused techniques when the goal is to set short-term priorities and track progress. This mix lets her tailor sessions to a person’s goals and day-to-day realities.
People who choose Dr. Freeman can expect a calm, steady presence and an emphasis on practical change. She welcomes conversations about life purpose, family roles, addiction concerns, trauma, and the specific pressures that come with parenting.
Her goal is to help people feel more capable and clearer about their next steps.

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting support
Dr. Tammy Freeman commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the parent's priorities, which helps people clarify what matters most and feel understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and manage anxiety or low mood.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. She works with each person to fit methods to their goals, needs, and everyday life. That collaborative process may mean trying different techniques, tracking what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more convenient. Video lets you see and hear each other for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging offer flexibility for quick reflections or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help parents fit conversations into busy schedules and keep momentum between appointments.
