About Tammy
Dr. Tammy Freeman is an LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor, and an LMHC, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, practicing in New Jersey with 21 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy and parenting.
Her approach is straightforward and people-focused. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping skills. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time.
In sessions she talks through current problems and looks for clear next steps. That can mean short-term problem solving or deeper work, depending on what the person needs. She has worked in hospitals, non-profit agencies, and private practice, so she is used to different treatment settings and life situations.
Dr. Freeman often helps people who feel stuck after big changes like a job move, relationship shift, or a loss. She also works with those coping with workplace stress or compassion fatigue, and with veterans and first responders. Her style aims to be practical, honest, and focused on what will make day-to-day life more manageable.
People starting with her are asked to describe what they want to change and what matters to them. From there she helps set goals and reviews progress over time. If someone is unsure where to begin, she guides small steps so problems feel less overwhelming.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the client. Online sessions using this approach let people talk through current concerns while the therapist mirrors what she hears and helps clarify priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches skills to change them. In remote sessions CBT can include setting homework, tracking mood, and practicing new coping techniques between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Freeman will discuss options and work together with the client to decide whether a listening-focused, skills-based, or insight-oriented plan fits best. That collaborative choice is reviewed as goals change or progress is made.
