About Tammy
Tammy Hicks is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 18 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Her practice also addresses concerns such as emptiness, family problems, fatherhood issues, life purpose, mood struggles, self-love, women’s issues, workplace stress, and young adult issues.
Tammy keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear goals. Conversations focus on what is getting in the way day to day and on steps that can make things feel more manageable. She uses familiar talk and real examples rather than technical language.
Her training includes a bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Austin and a master’s degree from St. Edward’s University. Over nearly two decades she has worked in a range of settings with different people, which informs a flexible approach to common life stresses.
In session Tammy combines client-centered ideas with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work. That means she pays attention to each person’s perspective, helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns, and looks for practical, short-term steps that can reduce distress.
People who contact her typically start by describing what feels hardest right now. Tammy then helps them set priorities and choose small, doable changes to try between sessions.
How her approaches translate to online work
Tammy uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says to help them clarify feelings and priorities. This method is useful for people trying to sort out identity, relationship stress, or decisions after college.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT helps with anxiety, low mood, and habits that hold someone back by teaching skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tammy will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in about what helps and adjusts the plan over time so sessions focus on the client’s immediate concerns.
Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into study, work, or commute schedules. They can allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, and let people join from a quieter place when that is possible. Talk with her during the matching process to clarify session length, frequency, and the way meetings are conducted.
