About Tami
Tami Lorne is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 12 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, and relationship concerns. Her work also covers trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and self-esteem struggles.
Tami draws on a broad, flexible approach rather than one fixed method. She tailors sessions to each person's needs and circumstances. That means she will meet a client where they are and pick strategies that fit their goals and life situation.
Background and approach
Early in her career she spent about three years at an addiction facility and completed jail evaluations to connect people to treatment instead of incarceration. That work informs her experience with substance use and with clients navigating criminal-justice involvement related to addiction. She also provides free counseling to combat veterans through the Give An Hour program.
That volunteer work reflects a long-standing interest in supporting veterans and first responder issues among her other focus areas. In sessions Tami emphasizes a whole-person view. She helps people talk through feelings, learn practical tools, and build confidence to make changes.
Her aim is to help clients move forward so they rely less on therapy over time. People who choose her can expect straightforward conversations, practical steps, and a nonjudgmental space to explore problems. She works with adults on parenting concerns and related family stress, offering guidance and coping strategies.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Tami describes her work as eclectic and person-centered, choosing methods to match each client's needs. One common approach she uses is practical skills training, which focuses on teaching coping strategies and step-by-step tools for managing stress, anxiety, addictions, and parenting challenges. These are exercises and techniques clients can try between sessions to see change over time.Another frequently used approach is trauma-informed support, which helps people safely process difficult experiences and their effects on relationships and daily life. That work often combines gentle pacing, emotion regulation techniques, and concrete steps to rebuild a sense of stability after trauma.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tami partners with each person to clarify goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. She aims to find a fit that feels practical and realistic for the client's life and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when video isn't possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick coping reminders, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to maintain momentum and fit therapy into day-to-day life.
