About Tammy
Tammy Christensen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Missouri and Idaho with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, and depression. Tammy also addresses related concerns such as abandonment, body image, codependency, and communication problems.
She respects that people know their own lives best. Tammy helps clients map out what is getting in the way and tries practical ways to move forward. Sessions focus on clear goals, small experiments, and learning skills to handle day-to-day pressure.
Tammy draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage impulses, reduce anxiety, and build confidence. She uses straightforward conversation and problem-solving to work through difficult decisions like commitment issues, divorce and separation, or blended family stress.
Over two decades of practice have included work with people coping with grief, guilt and shame, and challenges that come with aging and caregiving. Tammy pays attention to overlapping issues such as co-morbidity and domestic violence, and helps clients break these patterns into manageable steps.
Sessions are conducted in English and reflect Tammy's practical approach. For people weighing their next move after school or a job change, or those feeling stuck in relationships or with substance use, she offers steady, direct help to plan achievable changes.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Tammy works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach commonly used in evidence-based work involves skill training to manage anxiety and impulses - teaching breathing and grounding tools, planning steps to resist urges, and practicing safer choices. Another approach focuses on problem-solving and behavior change for addiction and relationship issues by breaking large problems into small, testable steps and reviewing what works.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tammy will work with the client to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. This means checking in about what is useful and changing course when something isn’t working.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats she offers before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around school, work, or caregiving. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight, or let someone choose audio-only if bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Ask about the available options so sessions can be scheduled in a way that fits everyday life.
