About Tammy
Tammy Horn is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 25 years of experience. She offers a calm, practical approach for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and parenting concerns. Tammy keeps sessions focused and straightforward so busy parents can fit therapy into their lives.
She brings an easy sense of humor and steady support while helping clients make small, sustainable changes. In early sessions Tammy listens closely to what brought someone in and uses a person-centered approach to build trust.
Background and approach
From there she often introduces cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Tammy also draws on dialectical behavior strategies when emotion regulation or intense feelings get in the way of daily functioning. She typically meets clients weekly for 45-minute sessions and may suggest brief check-ins during the first weeks to build momentum.
Homework is used to practice skills outside of sessions, such as identifying core beliefs and testing new behaviors. The goal is practical progress that fits daily life rather than lengthy theory discussions. Tammy works with a wide range of concerns including relationships, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, compassion fatigue, parenting struggles, and career stress.
Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented, helping people clarify what is working and what to change next. Based in Florida, she provides care in English and accepts international clients. Tammy emphasizes respect, empathy, and steady guidance while helping people move toward healthier routines and improved well-being.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Tammy often uses client-centered work to build rapport and understand what matters most to each person. This approach focuses on listening, empathy, and helping clients find their own answers, which is useful for parents needing a nonjudgmental space to talk.She also relies on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, parenting-related stress, and habit changes because it pairs short exercises with concrete skills to practice between sessions.
Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when strong emotions or relationship conflicts make day-to-day living hard. DBT-style tools teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication - skills that translate well to online sessions and short check-ins.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Tammy discusses your goals and preferences and suggests techniques that fit your situation. She adjusts methods over time based on what helps you make steady progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so therapy can fit around work, school, and family life. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing practice and brief reflections between appointments.
